2000 Boyd-Cantenac, Margaux

第四期「神之水滴」講到比賽之中，主角要找一瓶賣3000千至3999一瓶以Cabernet Sauvignon為主的Bordeaux酒。在百多瓶酒之中，主角揀了一瓶有Cabernet Sauvignon 的獨有Crème de Cassis，有杏仁香及甜味，帶像煙燻味與及在廣闊無邊庭園裡含有露水大地的芳香的酒。此酒使人有化舞今會的感覺，很玄很玄。原來謎底是 2001年的Chateau Boyd-Cantenac, Margaux, Bordeaux RP90



Parker 的 2001 Chateau Boyd-Cantenac Tasting Note RP90
Perhaps the finest wine I have ever tasted from Boyd-Cantenac (time will tell if the 2003 is superior), this deep ruby/purple-colored 2001 exhibits sweet, seriously endowed flavors of licorice, black currants, earth, and spice box. Medium-bodied and elegant yet intensely flavorful, it reveals more depth, texture, and persistence than any of its predecessors. There is also some tannin to be shed. Bravo! Anticipated maturity: 2007-2017.

酒鋪老闆R君本打算入此酒，但找不到合適價錢的，所以唯有飲住2000年Boyd-Cantenac。



2000 Chateau Boyd-Cantenac 咖啡木桶香非常強但十分優雅，比一年前喝更加正。body比以前half bottle那批好些，medium至full，有一定的finish。香味比起2003年Clos Des Papes正好多。(***) 期待有機會試2001年的Boyd-Cantenac。

Parker 的 2000 Chateau Boyd-Cantenac Tasting Note RP89
Probably the finest Boyd-Cantenac I have tasted in decades, the 2000 offers an opaque ruby/purple color in addition to a moderately intense bouquet of underbrush, cassis, earth, and oak. The wine is moderately tannic, but the tannin is sweet and well-integrated. This is a medium to full-bodied, substantial effort with good cellaring potential. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2018.
