儘管Deutz的觸角伸向了全世界,但他仍舊是比較審慎的著名商行。他不項那些贊助賽車的商行,向競爭對手炫耀。Deutz William 只有在特殊年份才生產,這種香檳會給人留下深刻的印象。這才是低調的奢華!
錯過這一次,你將錯過香檳的經典年份,1988 Champagne Rating: 8/10 - ready to drink
The first in a remarkable trio of great vintages and in many ways the most classic and long-lived. A warm spring was followed by unusually hot weather in June and then a cold and cloudy July. August was warm but there were heavy rains in early September leading to careful selection in the vineyards and smaller quantities being produced than in 1987.
The wines are powerful and well structured, but were not as immediately appealing as for example the 82s and 89s were were in youth. However, time has shown them to be rich in fruit, stylish and surprisingly well balanced. Most are drinking superbly now, although the best Champagnes are only now approaching their plateaux of maturity.
1987年雖然不是波爾多的好年份,但是「壞年份好酒莊」一直品鑑酒莊能力的標準,也是進階愛酒人士的必須體驗的。WS只給予80分:「Supple and tannic with decent currant, cherry and cedar flavors that are more pleasing up front than on the finish. Best to drink now. 」,但是Robert Paker最新的事業夥伴Neil Martin在2005年8月份品飲這款當年被評為「drink now」的Chateau Montrose 1987時,居然給予了88-89的高分:「Deep garnet core with thin brick red rim. The nose is closed at first, before a bouquet of tobacco, cinamin and "hot bricks" emerge. Medium-bodied with just an insinuation of ripeness. Fresh with good acidity. Builds in the glass though remaining quite herbaceous with a classic cigar box finish. This has lasted much better than the 1984:surprisingly strong on the finish.」。酒瓶子再為您加上一支被遺忘的年份1987的Montrose, Montrose是以深沉複雜內歛聞名,此酒已陳年一段時間了,日前已有酒友喝過,讚不絕口,是支十分超值酒款,數量有限,歡迎詢問!!
毫無疑問地,這是一款濃厚、強勁的新世界紅酒,呈深紫紅色,剛開始有點封閉,後來散發出明顯的成熟黑色漿果、紅色漿果與香料芳香,濃郁的李子、櫻桃風味,近乎果醬味道,並夾雜著些微巧克力與皮革味,單寧頗強勁,餘韻雖然澀,仍非常柔順且圓潤,可搭配烤火雞、牛排、羊排或燉羊肉。 Grape Variety: 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot, 4% Petite Sirah ,Alcoholic Content: 14.5% Barrel-aging: 18 months in French and American oak barrels Winemaker's Notes:This powerful Cabernet Sauvignon captures the essence of the Sierra Foothills where slow ripening gave this wine full richness and tannin maturity. The 2000 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is full-bodied and initially reveals rich aromas of fresh blackberries, cassis, and cola. Dark blackberry and sweet, creamy vanilla flavours abound and give way to an enduring finish that is perfectly balanced by this Cabernet's good tannin structure.
