Tasting note
2019年的奧比安二牌，來自著名的奧比安酒莊，是佩薩克-雷奧良優質風土的典範。這款酒以梅洛為主導，輔以赤霞珠和品麗珠，呈現出深紅色澤和濃郁的紅果與煙草香氣。口感緊實而富有風味，展現出密集的絲滑單寧結構，以及以新鮮果實為主導的餘韻，留下飄渺的印象。這款酒讓人回想起2006年的佳釀，既有力量感又不失風格，平衡感十足。開瓶醒酒兩小時，方能充分欣賞其複雜性，搭配烤羊排或紅酒燉牛肉等佳餚，將帶來非凡的享受。
The 2019 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion, a second wine from the esteemed Chateau Haut-Brion, is a testament to the exceptional terroir of Pessac-Leognan. With a blend dominated by Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, this wine exudes a dark red hue and an intense, inviting nose of red fruits and tobacco. On the palate, it starts tight and flavorful, unfolding a dense, silky tannic structure and a fresh fruit finish that leaves an ethereal impression. Reminiscent of the 2006 vintage, it is a powerful yet stylish wine with a focused balance. Decant for two hours to fully appreciate its complexity and pair it with dishes like grilled lamb chops or beef bourguignon for a sublime experience.
