2000,七月推薦酒- Katnook
酒名: Katnook Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 1994
酒廠: Katnook Estate (澳洲)
售價: NT$595
販售處: 好市多內湖店
推薦程度: * * * *
推薦原因:
此酒美國零售價為27美元,澳洲當地零售價在四年前此酒剛上市時為30塊澳幣,現在也漲到了一瓶40-49塊澳幣,而台北一瓶賣NT$595,比產地還要便宜,因此在價格方面是非常划算的。此酒Wine Spectator給87分,算是中上,但澳洲酒最具權威的酒評家James Halliday對此酒極為推崇,不但給予它94分的超高分,且認為它是Katnook Estate做的Cabernet Sauvignon中有史以來最棒的一個年份。此酒款在小金書中也得到五顆紅星,算是相當高檔的澳洲酒,因此它不僅在台北售價低廉,在品質上也得到專家的好評,故予推薦。
我昨晚開了一瓶來喝,果然粉棒,此酒顏色即深,充滿黑莓、黑李的水果香氣中仍有一些刺鼻的酒精味,入口非常甜美好喝,黑莓、李子等水果味十分濃郁,並帶有一些黑巧克力與松露野菇的風味,酒體紮實,單寧豐富而不咬口,餘味中長,層次感與複雜度都頗具水準;感覺上已進入成熟適飲的階段,但也可再繼續陳年一陣子。我個人覺得這支酒做得極好,幾乎到了AU$50以下澳洲Cabernet紅酒的極致;唯一的缺點或許是優雅與細緻方面較不足,但此酒豐富甜美而開放的果味實在迷人,而且以這種一瓶不到台幣600元的價位,我想各位網友實在該去買瓶試試。
James Halliday:
Katnook Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 1994
Winery: Katnook Estate
Region: Coonawarra, Australia
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
Best drinking: 1997 - 2004
Drink with: Prime rib of beef
Price Guide: $40.00
Oct 01 1996 rating: 94
Strong red-purple; an unusually powerful and concentrated bouquet for Coonawarra and in particular, for Katnook, suggesting extended maceration. The palate, likewise, has lots of tannin and extract, with blackberry and earth flavours, by far the most substantial Katnook cabernet so far released.
Wine Spectator:
Katnook 1994 Cabernet Sauvignon Coonawarra
$27.00, Score: 87, 5/31/97
Dense in color and flavor without a lot of weight, melding a harmonious chorus of earthy blackberry and plum notes with a mossy edge. Best from 2000 or 2002. (1200 cases produced)
