2023 Longyu Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

龍諭酒莊2023年珍藏帶來深色果實的厚實感，先在杯中映出黑莓、黑醋栗與成熟李子的香氣，伴隨香草、雪松與些許煙草、黑巧克力的底蘊。入口飽滿有力，果味濃郁但不滯，單寧堅實帶結構，酸度適中偏高，讓整體保持清爽節奏；中段出現溫和的橡木香與黑胡椒辛香，收尾悠長。酒莊以小批次採收、人工精選為原則，發酵時採用溫和浸皮、控制萃取，之後在新桶與二手桶混合陳年以平衡果味與木質感。葡萄園坐落排水良好、日夜溫差明顯的坡地，陽光與風的節奏幫助果實成熟同時保留酸度。輕鬆一點的建議：醒酒約45分鐘，可搭配炭烤紅肉、燉牛肋或熟成乳酪，口感會更和諧。

2023 Reserve from Longyu opens with a deep ruby core and an expressive nose of dark berry compote, blackcurrant and ripe plum enlivened by cedar, vanilla and a hint of tobacco and dark chocolate. On the palate it delivers concentrated fruit framed by firm, slightly chewy tannins and medium‑high acidity, carrying through savory oak spice and black pepper to a long, warming finish. Producer notes describe small‑lot selection and careful oak integration: hand-harvested fruit, gentle extraction during fermentation and 10–14 months ageing in a mix of new and second‑fill barrels to build structure without overwhelming fruit. Vineyards are planted on well‑drained slopes with good diurnal range, encouraging ripe fruit with retained freshness. Best enjoyed after a short decant to let the layers open and pair it with grilled and slow‑cooked red meats or aged cheeses.

Longyu (龍諭) is presented as a reserve programme focused on small batches and careful winemaking. The estate emphasizes hand selection, controlled fermentations and measured oak use to craft wines with clear fruit definition and ageing potential. For this reserve, fruit is sourced from hillside blocks chosen for good drainage and cooler night temperatures; the resulting wine is aged in a combination of new and older barrels to build texture while keeping primary aromas intact.
