Casual Drinking 2006-05-19

1998 Bahans Haut Brion, Pessac Leognan

1997 Ducru Beaucaillou, Saint Julien, 375ml
1997的bordeaux 是一個弱年,而好酒並不多,試過多瓶97酒,Ducru Beaucaillou是比較好喝的一瓶。酒香不俗但aftertaste略澀。(***)

A classy, complex bouquet of lead pencil, mineral, earth, cassis, and flowers jumps from the glass of this dark ruby/purple-colored 1997. Evolved and elegant, with noticeable tannin, it exhibits both breed and class as well as moderate weight, excellent depth, purity, and symmetry. Enjoy it now and over the next 10-12 years ... at the minimum.




2001 Pontet Canet, Pauillac, 375 ml
對上一次試酒是在2001年Medoc Grand Cru Classe Union那次,那時對2001 Pontet Canet印象一般,不過不失。可能因為普通年份,酒算是開放,都幾好喝。(***)

One of the great estates of the Medoc, Pontet-Canet has enjoyed increasing attention as well as a draconian selection process by owner Albert Tesseron ever since his breakthrough vintage of 1994. The 2001 does not possess the power of the 2000 or the huge 2003, but it is still a very fine albeit tannic, lighter wine. A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, and small percentages of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it was produced from modest yields of 37 hectoliters per hectare. Revealing classic cassis aromas, medium to full body, a firm structure with plenty of finesse, a closed personality, and dominant as well as intrusive tannin, it should age well for 12-20 years, but patience will be required. Certainly the concentration appears up to the level of the tannin. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2017.



1998 Bahans Haut Brion, Pessac Leognan
有酒友最近喝過正酒1998 Haut Brion,而且飲贏1998 Lafite,所以看看其Second wine現況如何。倒入decanter兩粒鐘,香味也不開,完全無正酒Haut BrionStyle。 入口好多Tannin,好澀。未及兩年前好喝。(**/*)

Readers looking for the taste of Haut-Brion for about one-third the price should check out the 1998 Bahans-Haut-Brion. It possesses a scorched earth, mineral, smoky, red and black currant-scented bouquet, terrific complexity, purity and elegance, and a harmonious palate. Tannin in the finish suggests 1-2 years of cellaring may be required, but this is a serious effort that should age well for 15+ years.



1998 Pavillon du Chateau Margaux, Margaux
要選1990年以後最好喝的Margaux仔,將會是2000,然後1996,次一級會是2002及1995,2001及1999會再後些。以前喝過1998 Pavillon du Chateau Margaux卻沒有太多好感。但有酒友認為1998Margaux仔飲贏1998 Lafite,當然要開瓶試一試。開瓶後,香味有濃烈的coffee味,感覺甚像新年份的Margaux,例如1999或01、02年。入口不簿而有口感,只是略為simple及aftertaste有些澀,算幾好喝,但始終不相信能飲贏Lafite。(***/*)

No Parker tasting note.

相信都是,但確實98 Lafite 要透氣好耐都唔開,最近兩次都是這樣,所以Margaux仔比較吸引是正常。
