霍頓格萊德斯通赤霞珠紅葡萄酒

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：6451

With a very deep garnet color, the 2004 Gladstones Cabernet Sauvignon reveals pronounced blackberry and earthy, meaty, gamey notes with a supporting bouquet of black truffles, soy sauce and Chinese dried plum. After a few minutes, evolved leather and tobacco characters are unearthed. Concentrated, developed, savory flavors dominate the palate with medium to high acidity and a medium to high level of fine tannins providing a bit of chew throughout the long finish. Drink it now to 2018+. In my student days one of my favorite tipples was the old Houghton’s White Burgundy. Of course now the name has had to change (as has my palate, thankfully), and the same wine under its new label didn’t quite make the grade here. The estate, now under the auspices of Constellation’s empire, does however continue to produce some absolutely cracking reds that are most definitely worth hunting-down. Under the Constellation Brands umbrella, Houghton is not currently available in the USA. www.cwines.com.au
