未成年請勿飲酒,飲酒過量有礙身體健康

液面已經比肩膀還低,木塞濕透,封蓋內部發霉,漏酒,外觀狀況是糟糕到無以復加,光是開瓶就花了很多功夫。但是,雖然年份老又狀況差,但是這酒依然沒有壞掉,相當美味。在Grave美酒前令人屈膝臣服。

Below shoulder, wet cork, moldy on the interior of cap, leaking, unbelievably terrible status. Takes me lots of effort for corkage. But, surprisingly, although it's old, it still ALIVE. Obedience to the aging potential of Grave fine wines.

You can find the label stated Grave in this 1977 vintage. After 1987, this estate belongs to the new created appellation "Pessac-Leognan". Besides, 1987 is also the year that this estate invited Michel Rolland as the consultant. However, after tasting, personally think this grand vin de Pessac-Leognan is outstanding even without MR.

Medium+ garnet and brick, rim of brown.

Leather, brewed coffee, pickled plum and chocolate at the beginning. Shows white flower, and elegant wood and incense after then. Light black berry hint, and floral honey hint (no swirling), gravel hint, mint hint, caramel hint, black tea hint.

Medium tannin, extremely velvet. M+ acidity, and lingering. Medium body after 30+ yrs aging, and palate is plum, light licorice, chocolate, light orange flavor, and green pepper hint.
