2020 Ares 设拉子

颜色 |这款酒从瓶中倒出时就像是一瓶深黑色的灵丹妙药。

香气 |打开后，香气浓郁，薄荷、樱桃、甘草和泥土的香气慢慢散发出来，并伴有血李子、糖霜、覆盆子果酱和干草药的香气。

口感 |这款酒年轻时并不会过于丰腴，而是为长久陈年而精心打造。饱满、强劲、丝滑的余韵是描述其口感的最佳方式，它带有强劲的黑色水果香气，层次丰富，完美融合了压缩的力量。我最喜欢这款酒的活力，口感张力十足，单宁圆润、柔和、丝滑。

总的来说，这款酒堪称巴罗萨谷西拉的典范，展现了西部山脉顶级葡萄的卓越品质。如此深邃的口感、独特的个性和回味悠长的余韵，需要再陈年数年。这款酒拥有极佳的陈年潜力，未来10到20年才能达到最佳状态。

The 2021 Barossa Valley growing season was exceptional, with nature delivering balance at every stage. Generous rain from August through October replenished soil moisture, while mild, even conditions in November and December supported strong shoot growth and trouble-free flowering. Summer remained remarkably moderate, with only one day above 40°C. A perfectly timed rain in late February refreshed the vines and sustained a long, unhurried ripening period. Shiraz berries remained small to moderate, building concentrated flavour while retaining freshness, acidity and fine tannin. Harvest progressed steadily through March and into April, producing beautifully balanced, expressive fruit.

Winemaking | Crushed and de-stemmed into open top tanks, fermented on skins for 14 days and pressed once dry. All free run juice and pressings were combined in tank and then racked off gross lees into barrel to go through malolatic fermantation. The wine was bottled with minimum fining and no filtration.

Maturation | 18 months in 50% new French puncheons. 3 barrels produced, bottled in late 2023.

封口 |Diam技术软木塞
净含量 |750毫升

"Deep magenta/crimson with wonderfully pure aromas of damson plum, blackberry and black cherry fruits. Hints of baking spices, cedar, dark chocolate, roasting meats, violets, panforte, olive tapenade, espresso and earth. Classic Barossa fruit weight and flavours but more contemporary and of the times, with an increased detail, fine, powdery tannins and plenty of sustain and energy on the lingering finish. A super release of this wine from a very strong vintage."
