【巴黎審判的榮耀】
1976 年,巴黎舉辦了一場改變葡萄酒世界格局的盲飲比賽——「巴黎審判(Judgment of Paris)」。當時,來自法國波爾多五大酒莊與布根地頂尖白酒的代表,與美國新興的 Napa Valley 酒款同場競技。結果震驚全球:Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 的 1973 S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon 勇奪冠軍,擊敗法國傳統強權,從此將美國納帕推上世界舞台。
延續這份傳奇榮耀,「CASK 23」誕生於 1974 年。當時釀酒師 André Tchelistcheff 在 S.L.V. 酒園的 #23 號橡木桶中,發現了風味驚艷的酒液,酒莊遂決定獨立裝瓶,並以此命名為 CASK 23。此後,這款旗艦佳釀結合了 S.L.V. 的結構與力量 與 FAY 的優雅與芬芳,僅在頂級年份釋出,成為全球藏家爭相追逐的傳奇典藏,如今更象徵著 Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 的至高成就。
Winemaker Notes
The 2018 CASK 23 combines the signature perfume notes of FAY vineyard with the structure and dark fruit of S.L.V. The wine opens with complex and expressive aromas of dark fruits, currants and figs along with hints of floral spice, sandalwood and wet stone. The wine has a vibrant taste and texture with the winery’s classic “Peacock’s Tail” that expands in the mouth and leads to a lingering aftertaste and finish.
Enjoy this CASK 23 with chicken marsala, grilled flank steak with plum salsa, or spiced duck breast with wilted arugula risotto.
98 Wine Enthusiast
Juicy, bright and effusive, it offers a lightness of spice, well-inte- grated oak and a cohesive, silky texture. Structured, it shows dark-berry fruit, a hint of crushed rock and fig, expansive and joyful on the palate. This should age beautifully.
97 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
It's medium to full-bodied, supple, silky and elegant yet still possesses enough richness to evolve for the next two decades. From the stunning, slightly lifted aromas of violets, cherries and cassis, to the long, dusty finish, this exudes class all the way. Best After 2024
95 Wine Spectator
Delivers a lot to like, with a violet thread amid a mix of cassis, plum reduction and blackberry puree flavors, all stitched with light alder, singed vanilla and tobacco notes. Features very light iron and cassis bush notes that curl around the finish, adding subtle tension to the seductive, friendly fruit. Very suave. Best from 2024 through 2040.
