【📝概述】
🇪🇸 我喜歡托羅 Toro 葡萄酒，因為它們通常很有力度、強大、濃郁且集中。 這款酒真的是我的最愛之一，並且沒有讓人失望。
Dominio del Bendito 是 🇫🇷 法國釀酒師 Antony Terry 的一個計畫 project，他於 2004 年定居托羅 Toro，他認為在那裡他可以釀造出美好的葡萄酒。
當您品嚐 Antony 的葡萄酒時，你就知道他是對的！
葡萄來自名為 Páramo de la Jara 的葡萄園，該葡萄園位於海平面高 700 米處，由沙子和巨石製成。葡萄藤以傳統的“en vaso”杯型剪枝培植，樹齡超過 50 年，未嫁接種植，因為它們不含根瘤蚜蟲（沙質土壤不適合根瘤蚜蟲生長）。葡萄園為有機管理：旱耕（無灌溉）和最少干預。
釀造和浸漬：在帶有環氧樹脂（3000 至 6400 公升）的小型混凝土槽中進行，為期 20 至 28 天。
熟成：在新和舊的法國桶80%及美國桶20%裝 14 個月。 無澄清裝瓶。
【🍇葡萄品種 & 酒精含量】
100% 托羅紅 Tinta de Toro (在里奧哈 Rioja 或有些地區被稱為丹魄 Tempranillo), 15% ABV.
【👀視覺印象】
帶有一絲紫色的深紅寶石色。
【👃嗅覺香氣】
複雜，帶有明顯的紫羅蘭花、成熟櫻桃、李子、黑莓、藍莓、乾燥香草、泥土、甘草、巧克力、煙草、香料和香脂的香氣。
【👅味覺品嘗】
類似於鼻子的明顯和集中的香氣。 中等偏高的單寧、中等酸度、高酒精度、酒體飽滿。 非常持久的餘味。
多汁，醇厚的油脂感且有力度強大，仍然可以感覺到柔軟的單寧，橡木的香氣已經巧妙地融合在一起，讓成熟的果香散發出來。 真的很棒。
【🍷簡單結論】
對我來是一瓶非常棒的葡萄酒，極度複雜，強大及優雅並存。 我認為它已經可以現在飲用但若透過適時的瓶中熟成，讓單寧更加柔和、橡木香完整融合在一起的話會更加完美。
【📝Brief intro】
🇪🇸 I love Toro wines as they are usually powerful, rich and intense. This one is really one of my favorites and doesn’t disappoint.
Dominio del Bendito is a project from a 🇫🇷 French winemaker called Antony Terry who settled in Toro in 2004, as he thought he could make wonderful wine there. When you taste the result, you know he was right!
Grapes come from a vineyard called Páramo de la Jara located 700m above sea level made of sand with boulders. The vines are trained in the traditional ‘en vaso’ style and are more than 50 years old, planted ungrafted as they are free from phylloxera (certainly due to the sandy soils which are not suitable for phylloxera to strive). The vineyard is managed organically with dry farming (no irrigation) and minimum intervention.
Fermentation and maceration: Carried out in small concrete tanks with epoxy (from 3000 to 6400 liters), between 20 to 28 days.
Maturation: 14 months in new and old French (80%) and American (20%) barrels. Bottled with no clarification.
【🍇Grapes & ABV】
100% Tinta de Toro (known also as Tempranillo in Rioja for instance), 15% ABV.
【👀To the eye】
Deep ruby with purple hints.
【👃Nose】
Complex with pronounced aromas of violet flowers, very ripe cherries, plum, blackberry, blueberry, dried herbs, earth, liquorice, chocolate, tobacco, spices and balsamic.
【👅Palate】
Pronounced and concentrated aromas similar to the nose. Medium+ tannin, medium acidity, high alcohol, full body. Very long persistent finish. It’s really juicy, unctuous and powerful, tannins are already quite soft but you can still feel them, notes from oak are already integrating letting the very ripe fruity aromas express themselves. It’s really good.
【🍷 Conclusion】
Incredible wine to me, super complex, powerful and elegant at the same time. I think it can be drunk now but should improve with some bottle aging to let the tannins soften more and let the oaky notes integrate themselves.
