  酒塞一侧浸塞严重，有明显的漏液，好在开瓶后酒的状态没问题，刚开就已经非常香，散发出浓郁的香草味，醒酒一小时，深宝石红色，闻香有些脂粉气，梅果，玫瑰和甜香料的味道，入口酸度很高，单宁紧涩，酒液回甜，红黑果混合着甜香料味，后段有点浓得化不开，微微回苦，还可以进一步醒酒变得更平衡，余味是香草奶油和梅果的香气。回塞一个小时，醒酒两个半小时，闻香有甜菜，玫瑰糖，红黑果香和辛香料味。入口酸度中高，酒液咸，收口甜，单宁细腻得几乎感觉不到，甜香料味明显，草本混合着蓝莓一类的果香，酒体饱满，香气扑鼻，后段辛香料感，余味是红果和香草奶油。此时已经完全醒开了，风格现代，香气活泼，有着漂亮的集中度，酒体扎实。虽然个人不是很喜甜香料的风格，但是我不得不承认这酒的质量很不错，状态开放，表现平衡，非常愉悦，你完全猜不到这是一款酒精度达到14.6度的酒。

  Just finesse. Great balancing by the winemaker. Decant for 2 hours for a special experience.

  Just a quality experience. Finesse. The blend demonstrates perfection on balancing the competing aspects in wine making. Hard to get wine and pricey but worth it. Decant for 2 hours.
