A blend of equal parts Cabernet Franc and Merlot, the 2020 Ausone wafts from the glass with aromas of dark berries and cherries mingled with notions of incense, spices and raw cocoa framed by a creamy patina of new oak. Medium to full-bodied, layered and seamless, it's pure and concentrated, with a sweet core of fruit, generously extracted tannins and a vanillin-inflected finish. Less seamless and sensual than the lovely 2019, it will require some patience to come together, but there is no mistaking the quality of the terroir here.

2020年歐頌酒莊紅葡萄酒風(fēng)格強(qiáng)勁，以其極佳的深度與層次感超越大多數(shù)酒款。品嘗此酒時(shí)，需要坐下來(lái)，花上些許時(shí)間靜待其風(fēng)味在杯中綻放。它所蘊(yùn)含的藍(lán)莓、越橘和煙熏覆盆子果味是如此濃郁，以至于初入口時(shí)略顯閉塞。隨著與氧氣的不斷接觸，風(fēng)味進(jìn)一步打開(kāi)，酒體愈顯宏大，口感變得更為豐腴、順滑，巧克力和抹茶的風(fēng)味也逐漸顯現(xiàn)，余味縈繞著鮮明的石灰?guī)r氣息，是一款釀造精良的葡萄酒。歐頌向來(lái)善于剖析風(fēng)土的各種特性，并將它們完美融合，盡顯大師風(fēng)范。2020年份的歐頌酒莊紅葡萄酒實(shí)屬杰作，這一年是酒莊正式向有機(jī)種植轉(zhuǎn)變的第一個(gè)年份，酒款采用100%新橡木桶陳釀，部分酒液在3,000升大橡木桶中熟成。裝瓶后再品鑒，它的得分應(yīng)該會(huì)更高，實(shí)屬潛在滿分酒款。

此酒起初較為內(nèi)斂，散發(fā)著些許酸櫻桃和胡椒的氣息，在杯中與空氣接觸片刻后展現(xiàn)出紅醋栗與黑醋栗的香氣，隨后愈發(fā)濃郁的香料和樹(shù)脂芬芳層層襲來(lái)。單寧豐沛、強(qiáng)勁且富有顆粒感，伴有類似于石灰的礦物質(zhì)風(fēng)味，酸度精致集中且鮮活靈動(dòng)，結(jié)構(gòu)宏大，張力十足，質(zhì)地如奶油般綿密柔順，極具包容性，讓各元素完美呈現(xiàn)，余味悠長(zhǎng)。
