Chateau Siaurac 2014 施雷克酒莊, Lalande de Pomerol 《醇酒系列-F192B》

🔎歷史始於 1832年，近年酒莊由Paul Goldschmidt 打理，接管了太太外家由1832至今同一家族的產業，佔地46公頃也是Lalande de Pomerol 區內最大的酒莊，歷史雖長而且單一家族管理，但酒途卻是浮浮沉沉，或許最吸引的就係他搶眼的綠色酒標，與莊園一樣靠外表攞左個區內最美麗莊園銜頭，小編以前做過多次他不同的年份，說實酒質一般，合乎價格又無驚喜，只能靠包裝外觀較吸引人眼球，這亦解釋為何多年來取分困難，在2015之前未曾獲取過RP90分以上，其實呢家Chateau Siurac 風土條件唔差，從文件記載 ：「Chateau Siaurac is only separated from the first great growths of Pomerol by a tiny trickle of water called the Barbane」酒莊跟Pomerol 最頂級的Petrus 亦只是相隔1KM，雖然交由小編偶像Stephane Derenoncourt助陣，但效果只屬一般，到2014年酒莊最大的轉變是Latour 的莊主Francois Pinault 及他的公司 Artemis Group 入股莊園，自始Chateau Siaurac 得到了一級莊強大的技術、人材支援和海量的資金，來自拉圖的技術團隊女農學家 Penelope Godefroy 接手管理葡萄園，而且背後還有前Petrus 釀酒師 Jean-Claude Berrouet 提供意見，她倆第一項工作就係將酒莊轉為Organic 及Biodyamic.

🏅Vinous 88-91 pts 
Juicy and exuberant, the 2014 Siaurac is real gem. Voluptuous, forward fruit and supple feel are some of the signatures in this succulent, hugely pleasing red. Dark cherry, plum and sweet floral notes add to an impression of immediacy. All the elements fall into place effortlessly.

🏅Wine Enthusiast 91 pts 

The ample fruitiness of this 80% Merlot wine is right up front. It comes from a large 116-acre estate on the extension of the Pomerol plateau. Firm tannins as well as generous black plum and berry fruits are well balanced, just needing time to soften and fill out.

🏅James Suckling 90 pts
A little earthy and meaty but the wine is fruity and spicy, too. Bright acidity and outstanding density and verve. Drink now.
