這款由紫杉莊園（Château l'If）在 Jacques Thienpont 管理下推出的二軍酒，帶有典型聖艾美濃的沉穩風格。香氣以深色漿果為主，黑櫻桃與李子先行，隨後出現雪松、煙草與礦物氣息，還有些許香草與香料的細碎尾韻。口感飽滿但不笨重：果實濃郁、橡木帶出的香草和香辛料溫和襯托，單寧結構紮實而圓潤，酸度支撐良好，使整體保持明快。酒體適中偏厚，收結悠長，建議醒酒約一小時，搭配烤羊肩、燒烤牛排或野味都很合適。田地多為緩坡石灰與黏土混合，日夜溫差幫助果實成熟同時保留清晰酸度；釀造上以傳統發酵與橡木桶陳年為主，注重平衡與陳年潛力。
A classically styled Saint-Émilion second wine from Château l'If under the stewardship of Jacques Thienpont. On the nose this 2018 opens with ripe black cherry and plum, layered with cedar, graphite and an undercurrent of tobacco and dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied and polished: dark-fruited core, gentle vanilla and spice from careful oak ageing, and firm but refined tannins that give structure without overpowering the fruit. Bright, balanced acidity keeps the wine lively and ready to pair with richer dishes. A wine built for medium-term cellaring (Drinking window 2025–2038) that rewards an hour of decanting to let scents and flavors unfurl. Excellent with roasted or grilled red meats, game, and mature cheeses.
紫杉莊園位於聖艾美濃，現由 Jacques Thienpont 旗下管理。莊園重視地塊個性與傳統釀造工藝，葡萄園多坐落於緩坡，土壤為石灰與黏土混合，利於累積日間熱量並於夜晚保留酸度。採收時重視分選，發酵控溫並以法國橡木桶陳年，讓香草、香料與果味融合但不失果實本身的純淨，成就既適飲又耐陳的風格。
Château l'If is a Saint-Émilion property now associated with Jacques Thienpont, a family known for respectful, terroir-driven winemaking in Bordeaux. The estate focuses on traditional cultivation of hillside vineyards, extracting ripe, concentrated fruit while preserving freshness. Winemaking for this wine typically involves careful sorting, fermentation with temperature control, and élevage in French oak barrels to integrate spice and vanilla notes without masking the fruit. The result is a wine that balances immediate appeal with the capacity to age.
