Cristom Mt. Jefferson Cuvee 2008

[wpcol_1half id="" class="" style=""] 非常果味。覆盆子、草莓、香菇水、淡淡的丁香與薄荷味道,還有甘草香氣。在口中的表現雖然沒有聞起來那麼濃烈,不過依舊是很棒。整體表現沒有其他單一葡萄園的Pinot Noir來得複雜。
[/wpcol_1half][wpcol_1half_end id="" class="" style=""]Very fruit with raspberry and strawberry flavors, black mushroom water, light mint, light clove and licorice. Medium+ acidity, medium+ alc., medium tannin, medium body. The nose is denser than the palate (still good). A very good blend from various vineyards, but not as complex as the other single vineyard Pinot Noir.

Cristom Jessie Vineyard 2007

[wpcol_1half id="" class="" style=""] 也是走果香調性。草莓、乾草(有時是草地)、花、線香。酸度中帶有一點橘子香氣。沒有Jefferson Cuvee 那麼果味,但較為優雅與多變化。
[/wpcol_1half][wpcol_1half_end id="" class="" style=""]Strawberry, dry grass, flower, incense, and sometimes shows the fresh grass. Tangerine flavor in the high acidity. Not as "fruity" as Jefferson Cuvee, but has more elegant and more changes in nose. That's why single vineyard wine is always a fascination.

Cristom Marjorie Vineyard 2007

[wpcol_1half id="" class="" style=""] 巧克力、雪松、人蔘根、草地、花蜜、草莓與些微的煙燻味道。香氣變化很大也很快。個人覺得這款酒可以2~4個酒友一起從肉類開胃菜開始吃到野味主菜,然後在一起在桌邊慢慢喝掉。不像 Eileen 那麼的嚴肅,是個可以開一瓶輕鬆喝上幾個小時的酒款。
[/wpcol_1half][wpcol_1half_end id="" class="" style=""]Chocolate, cedar, ginseng roots, grass, floral honey, strawberry, and light smoky note. The flavors changes a lot, and are very complex. High acidity and medium+ tannin. I think this is good for a long dinner for 2~4 wine lovers. Can drink it from the meat appetizer to the main gamey dish, and then appreciate it by a table after dinner. Around its peak.

Cristom Eileen Vineyard 2007

[wpcol_1half id="" class="" style=""] Eileen 07味道與 Marjorie 07類似,但更來得濃厚,且同時香氣比較沈穩。覆盆子、紅石榴、有點綠葉味道與木頭香氣。單寧的口感也比 Marjorie 來得明顯,酸度上亦同。個人認為是當天表現最好的酒款,值得靜靜地開一瓶來慢慢品飲。
[/wpcol_1half][wpcol_1half_end id="" class="" style=""]This Eileen 07 vintage very similar to Marjorie 07 vintage, but the nose and palate are denser and lower tone than Marjorie. Raspberry, pomegranate, a bit green note, wood flavors. Tannin mouthfeel is also stronger than Marjorie, and acidity is also higher and crispier. Personally consider this one is the best in this tasting panel.

Cristom Eileen Vineyard 2009

[wpcol_1half id="" class="" style=""] 香草、榛果、木頭、仙草蜜、黑莓、不熟的白甜桃香氣。高酸度、明顯的年輕單寧。應該要放個兩三年之後再來喝。
[/wpcol_1half][wpcol_1half_end id="" class="" style=""]Vanilla, hazelnut, wood, caramel, black berry, un-ripe peach. High acidity, medium+ tannin (very young), TOO YOUNG to drink. Personally consider to cellar it for 2~3 years.

Cristom Louise Vineyard 2009

[wpcol_1half id="" class="" style=""] 黑櫻桃、花蜜香氣、黑胡椒、香草、草莓。酒體飽滿、相當年輕的單寧。可以放個幾年等待最美好的時候,不過個人認為比Eileen 09 可以來得更早一點喝。
[/wpcol_1half][wpcol_1half_end id="" class="" style=""]Black cherry, floral, honey, black pepper, vanilla, straw berry. Full body, medium+ alc., medium+ tannin (young). Still need more aging, but I think Louis 09 vintage is a bit "earlier" to reach the peak than Eileen 09'.
