Chateau La Tour Carnet 2010

 

Chateau La Tour Carnet 2010

    2010 Château La Tour Carnet La Tour Carnet Oak, spice, cassis, earth and mocha scents open to a powerful, concentrated tannic wine with the structure to age well. There is some dryness in the finish. 89-91 90 points 

     

    來自 Bordeaux Haut Medoc 的 Chateau La Tour Carnet 是 Grand cru classe 4級酒壯；350(SG)

    葡萄成份：60% merlot / 34% cabernet Sauvignon / 5% cabernet Franc / 1% petit verdot..

    單看成份主要是 merlot ，cabernet Sauvignon 只有34%還以為單寧較輕，那知第一口還是覺得有點酸澀，已經提前半小時開瓶；再將酒倒在酒杯再醒酒15-20分鐘跟空氣接觸後單寧被軟化，入口已順喉得多；醒酒後的 Bordeaux 較適合我等初學者。不錯的一支 Grand cru classe，入口有層次感木桶味濃厚。

    如能夠先在 decanter 醒酒半小時效果應更好。

     2010 Bdx 好年，好年好酒。

      Chateau D'armaihac 2011 603 法國紅/白酒 2011 Château d'Armailhac Very floral, with black cherry, cocoa, blackberry and earthy scents rounding out the perfume. The soft, easy to like and drink style is very good for the vintage. 90 points  From a blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, the wine opens with espresso and blackberry scents. Medium-bodied, fresh, charming and easy to like, the wine ends with fresh cassis. 89-91 Pts 90 points  來自 Bordeaux Pauillac 的 chateau d'Armailhac  是 Grand cru classe 5級酒壯；價錢約HK$328-408(gcc) 葡萄成份：28% merlot / 57% cabernet Sauvignon / 13% cabernet Franc / 2% petit verdot.. Pauillac 酒區專出一級靚紅酒，這支同樣來自Pauillac 區的5級酒亦不遜色但價錢也不便宜，酒莊已被 Chateau Mouton Rothschild 收購；一贯 Bordeaux 紅酒的深紅寶石色，開樽後酒香濃濃，飲前一個半小時開樽待用；第一口已很順喉雖是2011年較新的酒但單寧適中較重的果香味適合我等初學者。 成份占13% cabernet Franc 也不覺得酸，而酒香是來自2% 的petit verdot嗎？要再研究一下。 cork.g

      Chateua Branaire Ducru St. Julien 2011 218 法國紅/白酒 A dense blue/ruby/purple color is followed by notes of raspberries, incense and spring flowers, supple tannins, medium body and excellent elegance as well as purity. The result is a suave, savory 2011. While it does not possess the size or richness of vintages such as 2009 and 2010, the 2011 has plenty of charm and appeal. Drink it over the next decade. Score: 89 A top-notch effort from this estate, the 2011 exhibits an exotic perfume of lead pencil shavings, white chocolate, raspberry jam and red as well as black currants. Loads of fruit, a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel and velvety tannin suggest this beauty will drink well for 15+ years. It is one of the stars of the appellation in this vintage. Bravo! Score: 91/93 The 2011 is a blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc that was picked between 14th and 29th September at just 37hl/ha. It has a straightforward bouquet of light fresh red b...
