Château Haut-Brion 2018 Pessac-Léognan

Château Haut-Brion Pessac-Léognan 2018

耕された土から立ち上がる、知的な多層。

深いガーネットから紫がかった輝きを帯びた色合い。グラスを回すと耕された土や砕かれた岩といったテロワールの気配が現れ、次いでリコリス、熟したプラム、ブラックカラント、キルシュ、野生ブルーベリーの果実香が広がります。ミディアムからフルボディの口中は黒果実と赤果実が複層的に展開し、スパイスやトリュフ、シナモン、ミネラルの閃きが構成を引き締めます。仔羊のラックや鴨胸肉と濃厚なベリーのソースとともに。

Tasting note

Deep garnet to purple-tinged colour. Swirling the glass first reveals terroir nuances such as "cultivated earth" and "crushed rock," followed by layered fruit aromas of licorice, ripe plum, blackcurrant, kirsch, and wild blueberry. The medium to full-bodied palate offers a complex development of black and red fruits, rounded out by flashes of exotic spice, truffle, cinnamon and minerals. The tannins are very fine and smooth, elegant and powerful, with a long, lingering finish with earthy/mineral notes. An intelligent and multi-layered wine with great aging potential.

Food pairing

Roasted or braised rack of lamb with herbs Duck breast (optionally with foie gras) with a rich berry and blackcurrant sauce Wild game (e.g. venison, turtledove) served in a red wine sauce
