品飲筆記：深紫帶紫羅蘭光澤，開瓶即散出濃郁的黑色水果與黑加侖香氣，隱約夾帶烘烤香料、輕微煙草與草本調性。口感厚實飽滿，但線條優雅，成熟的單寧扎實卻細緻，入口順滑、有絲絨般的觸感，鮮明果味一路延伸到帶礦物感的悠長餘韻。 酒莊與田地：力關整片園區位於聖朱利安村，紅葡萄園總面積達118公頃，分佈於兩座朝向南北的丘陵。土壤以黏土夾石灰為主、表土有碎石與卵石，受大西洋溫和海洋性氣候影響，果實成熟穩定且帶出礦感與優雅結構。 釀造手法：2015年人工分箱採收，先以整串人工篩選，再以光學儀器逐粒挑選。按小地塊分批不鏽鋼溫控發酵（26–28°C），18–25天浸皮，採用溫和翻渣或踩皮與脫渣技術，並於發酵期進行乳酸發酵共接種。陳年21個月，60%新橡木桶，於桶中以新鮮蛋白細膩澄清，最後調配後裝瓶。 喝法提示：這款酒年輕時結構明顯，醒瓶一小時左右能讓果香與香料更融合；若有條件可再多醒半小時。搭配煎烤牛排、燒羊腿或陳年硬質乳酪最合拍。整體風格是帶力量但不失優雅，適合喜歡豐富口感與長餘韻的飲家。
Tasting Note: Deep purple with violet rim. The nose opens with concentrated dark berry and black‑currant fruit layered with discreet oak spice, toasted nuances and a touch of tobacco and savory herb. On the palate it is full‑bodied and concentrated yet retains an elegant, balanced profile: ripe, well‑structured tannins give a velvety mouthfeel and carry persistent fruit to a long, chalky finish. Producer Notes: A demonstration of balance and slow evolution. The estate highlights harmony between richness and elegance, producing a wine that is powerful in youth but gains finesse with time. Winemaking Notes: Hand‑harvested into individual crates with two‑stage sorting (whole‑cluster then optical grape selection). Vinification plot‑by‑plot in temperature‑controlled stainless steel vats (26–28°C) with 18–25 day macerations, moderate punching‑down or délestage, and malolactic through co‑inoculation. Aged 21 months with 60% new oak and fined in barrel with fresh egg whites before final blending. Vineyard Notes: Entirely in Saint‑Julien across 118 hectares of contiguous vineyard on two hills with clay‑limestone subsoil and pebble/gravel topsoils. Temperate oceanic climate gives ripe concentration balanced by mineral tension. Harvest for 2015 ran from 21 September to 12 October. Ageing & Drinking Window: Built for ageing—drink now with decanting or cellar to 2040s. This vintage combines density and lift, rewarding both medium‑term cellaring and near‑term enjoyment.
