點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：3805

The 2000 Grasberg reveals onion peel and earthy aromas. Broad and expansive, it is a mouth-coating wine of massive amplitude and superb grip. Oily-textured and medium-bodied, its pure, delineated fruit offers white fruit, spice and mineral flavors. This dense, concentrated behemoth will require some patience before it blossoms fully. Projected maturity: 2006-2016. According to Deiss, "2000 was a vintage of great weather, yet one that carries with it problems of balance, like all great vintages. Some will consider these wines as too rich and having too much alcohol or residual sugar." He added that "2001 presented us with climatic chaos but the end result is as great as 2000." Deiss, a bio-dynamic farmer, stressed that he never chaptalizes his wines, including the reds.Importer: New Castle Imports, Inc., Myrtle Beach, SC; tel. (843) 448-9463
