2009 年的此款酒是有史以來最棒的一款 La Gaffelieres 佳釀。由 80% 的 Merlot 和 20% 的 Cabernet Sauvignon 混釀而成。是一款極為優(yōu)雅、濃郁、豐富和粘稠的酒。該酒莊稱此酒的酒精含量僅為 13.5%，在該葡萄園所產(chǎn)酒中處于適中水平，但我認(rèn)為其酒精含量超過了 14%。散發(fā)著豐富的櫻桃白蘭地、甘草、熏香、松露、柏油、黑莓和黑醋栗的味道，酒體豐滿，口感粘稠，十分純凈，是一款產(chǎn)自 St.-Emilion 的華麗葡萄酒。此酒現(xiàn)在還處在嬰兒期，但已呈現(xiàn)出十足的魅力，在未來 30 至 40 年內(nèi)其魅力都不會有絲毫的減少。

An absolutely spectacular effort, the 2009 is one of the all-time great La Gaffelieres produced. One would have to go back to the 2005, 1947 or 1961 to find this level of quality from this ancient, historic vineyard planted adjacent to the walls of St.-Emilion, on the Cote Pavie. Dating back to the 1400s, this estate has been owned for over three centuries by the Malet-Roquefort family. Composed of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc (in the past it was two-thirds Merlot and the rest split between Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc), the 2009 reveals compelling elegance, tremendous intensity and opulence and more viscosity than one normally sees. Lots of kirsch, licorice, incense, truffle, asphalt, blackberry and cassis notes dominate the aromatics and flavors of this full-bodied, viscous, fabulously pure, flamboyant St.-Emilion. Drinking it now may be considered infanticide by some consumers, but it is already attractive, and should last for 3-4 decades.

此款葡萄酒十分豐滿，散發(fā)著豐富且如天鵝絨般柔軟的李子醬、醋栗醬和甘草的味道，并伴有烤香料的氣味。余味中帶有黑巧克力的氣味。此酒在 2014 至 2023 年間飲用最佳。產(chǎn)量：4,165 箱。

此款葡萄酒極為優(yōu)雅，口感柔和精妙，香味尤為濃郁，幾乎是一款無可挑剔的葡萄酒。
