有人撿到便宜貨 Ch. La Tour Canet 2004 嗎?

這支前幾天才開來喝 (2004, 也是去年 以幾百元 購自大潤發, 已經放在 大同紅酒冰箱 over 6 months, 品質應該是穩定)

空瓶應該還沒丟掉... 若需要我可以貼圖.

感想:

沒錯, 淡淡的桶味主導. 沒有波爾多該有的華麗青春肉體感. 香氣普普, 有獨特青草味/礦石味, 但又不夠有特色,相對較無層次.

優點是喝不完之後可以放在冰箱兩天, 隔天續喝不會有痛苦的單寧酸味, 不過第三天就不行了.

結論: 可不買. 我冰箱還有一支, 可以拿 Pay La Tour 2005 跟我換.  :)

ps: 目前喝過桶味最強 但不失平衡的仍是謝老闆的 Cadus. 每次空腹喝一定會 Orz...

個人覺得2004年波爾多級數酒現在開瓶來喝可能還是在一個封閉的狀態.現在正進入一個沉睡期.所以味道不能稱份的展現.喝起來會有悶悶的感覺.而04年與05年的級數酒價差往往會在2.5及3倍之多(大部分的酒商報價都是如此).很多級數酒及勃根地1級園以上的酒都必須陳放8到10年以上才會進入適飲期.它才會展現應有的水準.要喝到這支酒真正的巔峰狀態只能說靠運氣了.

前幾天看到某酒界大哥級的人物狂推波爾多2004，如果目前2004真的是在封閉期，等特價的時候，看來可以去狂掃大潤發的這批Ch. La Tour Canet 2004，畢竟那隻酒下面貼了一個名牌∼

如果以這個價格.狂掃個幾箱.放個幾年後當日常飲酒..............作夢都繪笑喔!!!!

如果真要選 La Tour Carnet, 我寧可選優異年份的 2005, 而不會選 大潤發的 2004.

原因是個人喝過不少大潤發的紅酒, 品質已經 "傷到", 不適合陳年了.

舉個例子, 今年開了一瓶阿婆雞, 瓶塞已經出現兩條狹長型裂縫.

可以想像得到, 這酒再放個一年應該就毀了.

今年 還有開了一瓶 David 2005, 拜託, 真的失去了當初上市時剛買來喝, 那種純真少女的愉悅氣息.(上述幾瓶酒都是放在大同酒櫃中喔)

若能買到專業酒商代理進口的 2005 La Tour Carnet, 陳年起來會比較放心.

沒錯!!一般賣場的品質值得堪慮.保存條件往往不是很好.溫度變化太大運送過程瑕疵.(指從法國到台灣)這都是列為長久保存的條件之一.當然找酒專買酒品質一定有保障.如級數太高的酒就不建議在賣場買了.除非短期內就要喝掉

我也是會選La Tour Carnet 2005因為翻了一下夏X給我的報價單並沒有2004這一年份的.因為有可能2004這一年釀的很差.

GOOGLE大神和我說的，感覺上差不多：

Chateau La Tour Carnet Haut Médoc 2004
Varietal     Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot
Region     France : Bordeaux : Haut Medoc
Producer     Chateau La Tour Carnet
$31.00    

Wine Advocate Like most recent vintages have been, the 2004 La Tour Carnet is a big time sleeper of the vintage. Owned by Bordeaux visionary Bernard Magrez, this chateau is fashioning beautifully structured wines with superb concentration and intensity. The deep ruby/purple-hued 2004 offers up beautiful aromas of flowers, creme de cassis, smoke, and pain grille. Medium to full-bodied with excellent purity, low acidity, and moderately high tannin, this stunning effort should be at its peak between 2011-2024+. Score: 90. —Robert Parker, June 2007.

2005 La Tour Carnet, Haut Médoc

93 points Wine Enthusiast: "Mint and herbs set the scene for a ripe, black-fruited, relatively soft wine, where the tannins are charming rather than firm. But it's easy to imagine this wine broadening and developing a more structured character later." (6/20/2006)

90-93 points Robert Parker: "...it reveals an inky/purple color as well as a powerful nose of scorched earth, acacia flowers, blueberries, and black currants. Displaying an old style concentration with modern-styled tannins, it possesses fabulous richness, a full-bodied, powerful mouthfeel, terrific precision, and a wonderful sweetness to the fruit as well as tannin. A sleeper of the vintage, it should be drinkable in 5-7 years, and last for three decades." (04/07)

89-91 points Wine Spectator: "Aromas of currants, berries and light vanilla follow through to a full-bodied palate, with silky tannins and a medium finish. Very well done." (04/06)
