Tasting note

2003年的波菲城堡紅酒，來自法國聖朱利安，是葡萄酒製作藝術的典範。酒體呈現深邃的暗紅寶石色，暗示著其複雜的內涵。香氣中帶有成熟卻又克制的黑色水果香，口感上成熟的黑醋栗味道佔據主導，堅實的單寧和結構預示著其長壽命。細膩的酸度和平衡的酒精度確保每一口都是和諧的。儘管中段的果味可能會更加內斂，但餘韻適中，留下持久的印象。經過18個月在法國橡木桶中陳年，這款酒獲得了微妙的橡木影響，進一步提升了其固有品質。建議在飲用前約兩小時醒酒，以充分展現其風味。這款酒特別適合搭配烤羊肉或威靈頓牛排等濃郁菜餚，也適合奶油蘑菇燴飯或陳年硬質乳酪。

The 2003 Chateau Leoville Poyferre, a celebrated wine from Saint-Julien, France, is a testament to the art of fine winemaking. This vintage presents a deep, dark ruby-red hue that hints at the complexity within. The nose is greeted with dark fruit aromas that are ripe yet restrained, leading to a palate where ripe cassis takes center stage, supported by firm tannins and a structure that promises longevity. The acidity is finely tuned, and the alcohol is well balanced, ensuring that each sip is harmonious. Although the fruit may become more reserved on the mid-palate, the finish is of reasonable length, leaving a lasting impression. With an aging process of 18 months in French oak barrels, this wine has achieved a subtle oak influence that complements its inherent qualities. Decanting for approximately two hours before serving will allow this wine to fully express its character. It pairs exceptionally well with robust dishes such as roast lamb or Beef Wellington, as well as a creamy mushroom risotto or aged hard cheeses.
