2009 L’Evangile An astonishing effort from the Rothschild family, the 2009 l'Evangile may be the reference point offering from this estate for decades to come. A blend of 95% Merlot and 5% cabernet Franc aged in 100% new oak, with 15% natural alcohol, it exhibits a sumptuous bouquet of caramels, black raspberry liqueur, blackberries, voilets, graphite and truffles. Think, viscous flavors are reminiscent of such super-ripe vintages as 1982, 1959, 1949 and 1947. The striking aromatics, massive, full-bodied mouthfeel and multilayered palate that resembles a skyscraper in the mouth offer an abject lesson in great winemaking, extraordinary terroir, and the ability to combine power with precision, elegance and freshness. This is unquestionably a huge wine, but it also possesses mindboggling complexity and finesse. Because of its sheer extract and velvety personality, it will be drinkable in 4-5 years, and will keep for four decades or more where well-stored.

这是来自罗斯切尔德家族令人惊叹努力的成果,2009年份的乐王吉红葡萄酒可能是代表这个庄园等待数年终于来临的参考点的作品。它混合了95%的梅洛和5%的品丽珠,在100%全新的橡木桶中酿造而成,具有15%的天然酒精度。这款红酒具有焦糖、黑色覆盆子利口酒、黑莓、紫罗兰、石墨和松露的华丽芳香。其浓稠、粘滑的味道令人联想起1982年份、1959年份、1949年份和1947年份这些极为成熟的佳酿。惊人的香味,强劲、饱满的口感和层次分明的味觉体验,给人以巅峰的品尝体验和对酿酒工艺的进一步领略,利用得天独厚的地域,并且能够完美结合力度和准确度,优雅度和新鲜度。毫无疑问这是一款强劲的美酒,然而它还有令人不可置信的复杂度和精细度。由于其纯粹的精粹和天鹅绒般柔滑的单宁,再过4至5年这款美酒就可以饮用,而且如果储存良好它至少可以陈藏40年。 评分:100分,罗伯特·帕克,《葡萄酒倡导家》,2012年3月 |
