Tempranillo RiberaDelDureo Montevannos_2007

這支是在英國目前為止買到最貴的紅酒13.5英鎊
主要葡萄品種是Tempranillo但產區來自Ribera Del Dureo(西班牙北部中央,較Rioja南方)

同樣是Tempranillo但此款喝起來較單純入喉之後舌頭會出現明顯的澀感葡萄香甜味也隨之出現並且會停留在嘴中一段時間 相較於前一篇介紹的Rioja產區的Tempranillo其fruitful的口感相差甚多.

關於西班牙紅酒酒標分類再Wiki上有資訊可參考 節略如下:

• Crianza red wines are aged for 2 years with at least 6 months in oak. Crianza whites and rosés must be aged for at least 1 year with at least 6 months in oak.
• Reserva red wines are aged for at least 3 years with at least 1 year in oak. Reserva whites and rosés must be aged for at least 2 years with at least 6 months in oak.
• Gran Reserva wines typically appear in above average vintages with the red wines requiring at least 5 years ageing, 18 months of which in oak and a minimum of 36 months in the bottle. Gran Reserva whites and rosés must be aged for at least 4 years with at least 6 months in oak.

此款依酒標標示似乎是在橡木桶中存放5個月之後就裝瓶了 這不知是不是其較層次較單調的關係?
喝酒還是要看心情 fruitful的酒像婀娜多姿美女 但單調的酒也可享受到單純的甘甜
