1997 Top 100 Wines(1997上市的上好紅酒多為93'/94'年份的葡萄釀造) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 意見來自於: Thomas Chang 210.65.215.61-210.65.215.61 於 March 21, 1998 at 13:26:12: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 許多專業的葡萄酒雜誌都會在每年年初選出前一年上市的"Top 100 Wines"，例如英國"Wine"、美國"Wine Spectator"、"Wine Enthusiast" 等等，國內也有一本陳新民先生撰寫的介紹世界百大佳釀的書；不過 在葡萄酒的世界中由於風味不同，眾家好酒各領風騷，也各有各的擁 護者，因此實在很難有客觀的判斷標準。事實上酒好不好喝本來就是 主關的判定，不過能夠獲得多數專業人士的青睞者，往往不會相差太 遠，我個人就很喜歡挑選一些WS與WA評價差很多的酒，品嘗後將自 己的感覺與酒評做對照印證，除了可增加自己的品酒經驗外，對我也 是一種很大的樂趣。Wine Enthusiast的"1997 Top 100"係同時考慮品質與價格選出的葡萄 佳釀，包括了甜酒、加醇酒、氣泡酒、紅酒、白酒五大類，在紅酒類 入選的50支酒中，加州酒是最大的贏家(佔25支)；由於1997上市的上 好紅酒多為93'/94'年份的葡萄釀造，而波爾多、勃艮地這兩年氣候條 件並不好，但94'對加州而言則幾乎是有史以來最好的紅酒年份，因此 加州酒大勝並不意外(在WS的1997 Top 100也是美國酒大勝法國酒)； 不過95'是波爾多的輝煌年份，因此明年的1998 Top 100法國酒應可小 勝美國酒。 在Wine Enthusiast的"1997 Top 100"五十支紅酒中有5支西班牙酒， Vega Sicilia即佔了三支，分別是 86' Unico, 81' Unico, 92' Valbuena， 且分居第一、第二與第十二名；Unico此酒在歐州赫赫有名，產量不多， 國內有售其它年份，但都非常昂貴，我曾珍藏一瓶85'，還捨不得喝； 而92' Valbuena我也在國內買了一瓶，約NT$2100左右，也尚未找到 品嘗的時機。義大利酒有八支，其中兩支Gaja的產品在國內見過；三 支澳洲酒當然少不了Penfolds Grange，入選的92'年份國內賣約六千元。 法國酒只有四支，波爾多全軍覆沒，著名的Guigal Cote-Rotie 93'入選 二支，分別是La Mouline、La Turque這兩個葡萄園，國內有進口其它 年份，但索價不菲。至於大獲全勝的加州酒，則有許多在國內有售， 如 Opus One 94', Ridge Monte Bello 93'&94', St. Francis 94' Reserve, Dominus 94', Stag's Leap 94' Fay & 94' Csak 23等等，我有 珍藏Opus One 94'與 Ridge Monte Bello 93'，近日應會開兩瓶來品嘗。 至於Wine Spectator的1997 Top 100，有機會下次再為網友們介紹。 以下是Wine Enthusiast的"1997 Top 100"，第一項數字為評分，酒評 內容則因太多故不詳列，對特定酒評有需要的酒友可向我索取或直接參閱該雜誌。 Dessert: 99 Weingut Feiler-Artinger (Austria) 1995 Ruster Ausbruch, Pinot Cuvee, Neusiedlersee. 98 Zind Humbrecht (France) 1993 Clos Jebsal Selection de Grains Nobles, Pinot Gris, Alsace. 98 Lang (Austria) 1994 Ausbruch Barrique, Chardonnay, Neusiedlersee. 98 Anselmi (Italy) 1993 I Capitelli, Recioto di Soave 12% rs. 97 Dr. Pauly-Bergweiler (Germany) 1994 Bernkastler alte Badstube am Doctorberg 96 Zind Humbrecht (France) 1994 Rangen Clos St. Urbain Grand Cru Vendange Tardive, Pinot Gris, Alsace. 96 Weinbau Richard Goldenits (Austria) 1992 Eiswein, Samling 88, Neusiedlersee. 96 Ernst Triebaumer (Austria) 1995 Ausbruch, Traminer, Neusiedlersee. 95 Chappellet (CA) 1994 Moelleux, Chenin Blanc, Napa Valley 9.5% rs. 95 Angerhof (Austria) 1995 Trockenbeerenauslese, Weissburgunder, Neusiedlersee.
