TASTING NOTE BY MSQ 【Torbreck — 澳洲膜拜級名莊】 Torbreck 酒莊位於南澳洲最出名嘅 Barossa Valley，係澳洲最受推崇嘅紅酒品牌之一，以生產頂級嘅羅納河谷（Rhône Valley）風格紅酒而聞名於世。佢最大特色之一係擁有並使用大量珍貴嘅老藤葡萄園（有些樹齡超過百年）。老藤根系深，產量低，能結出風味更集中、更複雜嘅提子。Torbreck 專注於釀造以 Shiraz 和 Grenache 等 Rhone Valley 品種為主嘅紅酒。佢出產嘅紅酒以澎湃嘅果味、豐滿嘅酒體同出色嘅平衡度而著稱。 The Gask 嘅提子源自Eden Valley，呢款酒嘅名字來自Gask 山脊——一片靠近Torbreck森林附近高地邊界線的羅馬防禦工事群。Eden Valley海拔較高，種出的提子雖然細粒但風味濃郁，釀出來嘅酒風味強烈嘅同時又兼具平衡同優雅。 這款2023年的酒呈深邃的紫紅色，撲鼻而來的是藍莓、桑葚和波森莓等藍莓和紫羅蘭的香氣。隨後，一絲石墨和花崗岩般的礦物氣息與乾燥花、雪松和檀香等次要香氣交織在一起，令人著迷。口感柔順，清爽的藍莓風味與圓潤柔和的單寧和悠長的酸度完美融合，帶來精緻的口感體驗。這款酒年輕時即可享用，也可窖藏10年。建議搭配烤肉，例如肋眼牛排或烤義大利香腸佐甜椒醬。適飲期從2025年開始。 TASTING NOTE BY WINE CRITICS The 2023 The Gask is a single-vineyard wine from Eden Valley, and it is a powerhouse of concentration, density and purple persistence. This wine is intimidating in its power, but it also inspires something like awe in the fact that the wine was grown like this; the fruit naturally produces the concentration and power that we see here in the glass, and it speaks of the Eden so clearly in its expression. 15.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork and wax. RATING BY WINE CRITICS 95 Points by Erin Larkin, The Wine Adovocate, 2025
