Tasting note
2005年的靚次伯是來自著名的波爾多帕奧雅克產區的五級酒莊佳釀。這個年份的酒被譽為近幾十年來最偉大的年份之一，呈現出中等至深的紅寶石色澤，散發出黑醋栗、雪松和一絲塵土的香氣。口感上，清新的果味與堅實細膩的單寧相結合，帶來良好的口感，展現出靚次伯的經典風格。豐富的黑醋栗果味、平衡的酸度和長久、優雅、和諧的餘韻，這款酒真實地反映了其風土條件，特別是其葡萄園的加龍河礫石土壤特性。人工採摘並在葡萄園內進行分揀的葡萄，經過法國橡木桶陳釀15個月，賦予了它濃郁的黑莓和黑醋栗風味、飽滿的口感和不可否認的年輕活力。建議醒酒約兩小時，讓酒展現其全部潛力，使其成為烤羊排或威靈頓牛排等豐盛菜餚的絕佳伴侶。
The 2005 Chateau Lynch-Bages, a Fifth Growth from the esteemed Pauillac appellation, is a testament to the grandeur of Bordeaux winemaking. This vintage, which is already being hailed as one of the greatest in recent decades, presents a medium to deep ruby-red hue, exuding aromas of cassis, cedar, and a hint of dustiness. On the palate, it reveals superb, clean fruit that melds with firm, fine tannins, offering a good grip and a classic Lynch-Bages profile. With plentiful cassis fruit, balanced acidity, and a long, elegant, and harmonious finish, this wine is a true reflection of its terroir, characterized by the Garonne gravel soils of its vineyard. The hand-picked and sorted grapes, aged in French oak barrels for 15 months, contribute to its concentrated blackberry and cassis flavors, full-bodied mouthfeel, and undeniable youthfulness. Decanting for approximately two hours is recommended to allow the wine to express its full potential, making it an excellent companion to hearty dishes such as grilled lamb chops or Beef Wellington.
