James Suckling TOP 5 Picks 七大產地 最佳TOP5期酒推薦

 

 

我已經說過2014年份是屬于波爾多左岸的一年，尤其是Haut-Médoc地區包括St. Julien, Pauillac and St. Estèphe地區都釀造了很多出色的葡萄酒，感覺質量和1996年很像，但卻擁有新鮮的果味和精準度。但值得注意的是2014年份Pessac-Léognan地區不管在紅葡萄酒還是白葡萄酒上，質量都很好。你可以從我選出的2014年份百強葡萄酒名單中看出，很多該地區的葡萄酒都榜上有名。我目前品嘗到的2014年份里期酒里，最好的葡萄酒也是來自該地區。這些都可以印證該地區2014年份酒的質量。

我之所以稱2014年份是屬于左岸的一年，很大一個原因是左岸那些比較小，不出名的小酒莊，包括St.-Julien等地的很多小酒莊都釀造了很不錯的葡萄酒。當地著名的酒莊包括寶嘉龍城堡(Château Ducru Beauillcau )和 雄獅莊園（Château Léoville Las Cases）的葡萄酒質量更是讓人稱道。

Margaux地區在2014年份表現中，相對沒有左岸其他的一些地區好。但是總的來說，左岸整體質量還是要勝過右岸。而且我之前也說過，現在我給出的分數也不代表酒最終的表現。酒都還很年輕，還要經過陳放成熟。等酒裝瓶之后，我們可以再看看這些酒是如何發展的。
