拉菲 - 侯奇古堡

卡本妮蘇維翁91%

梅洛9%

今年重複了近幾年的一個常態，即初冬溫和、乾燥，對生長有利的寒涼要等到一月下旬才會降臨，還伴有降水。與往年一樣，萌芽始於四月。隨後，葡萄樹在水儲備及溫和天氣的鼎力支持下迅速生長。六月，花期提早到來，整個過程均勻一致，在收穫前預示著大年的希望。 海洋與河口緩解了夏季的高溫、炎熱。各處都承受著缺水的沉重壓力，八月的及時雨為轉色期及之後的完美成熟期帶來了必要的清涼。採收時刻，天時地利人和齊聚於此，最終從每個田塊上都收穫到了最為精華之產物。

品酒筆記（灌瓶時）


顏色極暗，泛著紫色的光澤，展示著葡萄酒極為青春的年少時光。
香氣還頗為低調，在僅灌瓶數月的這個時間點上是很常見的。但我們仍能感受到一種魅惑的深邃、無窮的繁複。木香與清新的草莓和煙草香融為一體。
入口柔和又極為強勁。酒在口中不斷地壯大、壯大……在一個高峰處柔和地收尾。
無一絲激進之感，一切都是那麼完美、和諧，悠長不絕。
這款拉菲，在今天僅僅顯示出自身潛力的一小部分，還需品酒客耐心等待上數年。

The deep garnet-purple shaded 2015 Lafite Rothschild is blended of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Merlot and was matured for 20 months in new oak barrels from Tonnellerie des Domaines (their own cooperage). It is still sporting a lot of cedar at this nascent stage with a vibrant core of black raspberries,red currants and crushed plums plus touches of cigar boxes,violets and underbrush with a waft of tilled loam. Medium-bodied and elegantly styled with wonderful freshness and depth,it is compellingly earthy/minerally in the mouth with a frame of seductively silky yet very firm tannins and culminating in a very long,racy and pure finish. Boasting spectacular finesse and packed with nuances,clearly,given some of the challenges here in 2015,this is a masterpiece of diligence in the vineyards,careful selection and very clever crafting—bravo!
