2020 Chateau Latour-Martillac (375 ml)

酒液呈深紫色，香氣豐富而直接——以黑莓、黑櫻桃為主，並帶有甘草、香料和一絲石墨與煙燻感。口感厚實、飽滿而多汁，單寧被細緻包覆，觸感圓潤柔順，餘韻果香清新且持久。2020年生長期乾燥，重力級礫石土壤讓果實濃縮度高；在溫控發酵槽中完成發酵，之後在法國橡木桶陳釀約18個月。整體風格兼具力量與優雅，現在開瓶醒個一小時半能更快顯現層次，未來數年仍有發展空間。

Deep, very dark purple in the glass. The nose is intense and immediate — ripe blackcurrant and black cherry lead, followed by layers of licorice, exotic spice and a hint of graphite and smoke. On the palate the wine is greedy and powerful yet balanced: juicy and fleshy with coated, velvety tannins and a broad mid-palate. Oak aging adds cocoa and vanilla whispers while a fresh, fruity persistence carries through the finish. Made from grapes concentrated by the dry 2020 season on the Gunz gravel plateau, fermentation took place in thermo-regulated vats and the wine was matured for 18 months in French oak. A Cru Classé from an estate owned by the Kressmann family, it shows both early appeal and real cellar potential.
