Tasting note
2017年的藍寶堂展現了阿帕爾塔風土的豐富傳承，帶來了一款深度優雅與複雜性兼具的紅酒。這款酒酒精度達15%，屬於醇厚結構的紅酒，經過2小時醒酒後，其深石榴紅色澤與成熟果實的複雜香氣得以完全展現。嗅覺上，它提供了紅醋栗、覆盆子和野生草莓的驚人香氣；口感上，則以漿果果實的初味迎接，隨後是黑橄欖、黑加侖和甘草的對比風味。酒中的豐富黑果味與香料和橡木完美融合，導致一個極長而緊繃的尾韻，展現了精緻、細膩的單寧。這款酒與烤羊排或牛肉威靈頓等濃郁菜餚搭配得天衣無縫，也可與蘑菇燴飯或陳年硬質乳酪一同享用。
The 2017 Clos Apalta is a testament to the rich heritage of the Apalta terroir, delivering a wine of profound elegance and complexity. With an alcohol content of 15%, this bold and structured red wine is best enjoyed after a 2-hour decanting period, which allows its deep garnet hues and the intricate aromas of ripe fruits to fully unfold. On the nose, it offers a stunning array of redcurrant, raspberry, and wild strawberries, while the palate is greeted with an initial burst of berry fruits, followed by contrasting notes of black olive, blackcurrant, and liquorice. The wine's opulent black fruit flavors are beautifully integrated with spices and oak, leading to an incredibly long and taut finish that showcases the exquisite, delicate tannins. This wine pairs exceptionally well with robust dishes such as grilled lamb chops or beef wellington, as well as a mushroom risotto or aged hard cheeses.
