Tasting note
2012年的拉拉貢酒莊展現了豐富的層次與平衡，是高梅多克產區的典範之作。這款酒以56%赤霞珠、26%梅洛和18%小維多的混釀，散發出新鮮的黑覆盆子風味，並帶有辛辣和橄欖醬的獨特香氣。口感清新，帶有胡椒和辛辣的紅漿果味，以及百里香和胡椒的微妙氣息，單寧柔和而融合。建議醒酒一小時，以充分展現其複雜性。這款酒與烤紅肉、烤羊肉或成熟的乳酪相得益彰，是一款經典的紅酒佳釀。
The 2012 Chateau La Lagune is a testament to the finesse and balance that the Haut-Medoc region can produce. With a blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, and 18% Petit Verdot, this wine exudes a fresh black raspberry character, intertwined with spicy, olive tapenade nuances. The palate is greeted with crisp, peppery, and spicy fresh red berries, complemented by hints of thyme and pepper, all wrapped in well-integrated tannins. Decanting for an hour is recommended to fully appreciate its complexity. Enjoy this savory and classic red with grilled red meats, roast lamb, or mature cheeses.
