空前绝后的波特酒品酒会

I asked Paul Symington after the tasting to describe the Cockburn house style he felt had been revealed and he suggested “a slightly austere dryness and bitterness like orange marmalade. Certainly the debut Cockburn vintage port produced by the Symingtons, the 2007, has a lift and freshness that distinguishes it from the more massive ports dominated by grapes grown in the Cima Corgo – and the family are presumably bucked by the fact that, after winemaker Charles Symington’s fine tuning of the Cockburn’s Special Reserve recipe, it was the only Reserve quality port to be garlanded in each of the three major UK wine competitions this year.

在品鉴会结束之后，我请保罗·辛明顿描述一下他感受到的考克伯恩品牌的风格，他回答说：“些微有些质朴清冷，以及一点点苦橙的涩味。当然，还有初次亮相的由辛明顿家族出品的2007年份考克伯恩年份波特酒，以清新之感让自己从Cima Corgo产区的其他大量波特酒中脱颖而出——在经过酿酒师查尔斯·辛明顿(Charles Symington)对考克伯恩特级珍藏的配方做了微调之后，这个家族很高兴看到这款品质上乘的珍藏波特酒在今年英国的三个主要葡萄酒大赛上一举夺魁。
