我邀请了一对认识的夫妇和我一起品酒。丈夫喜欢喝Silver Oak,很久以前甚至参观过酒庄。我还请他们吃了晚餐——当然是牛排。
The results could be summed up by that word that frustrates all wine drinkers: inconclusive. While I'd been impressed by how well the 32-year-old 1982 Alexander Valley Cabernet was holding up, with a still-firm acidity, soft tannins and a brown-sugared apple sort of fruit, my Silver Oak-loving friend was of a different opinion. He's used to lots of young, luscious fruit, and thought it was 'too old.' The fruit was faded and the notes were more earthy.
结果可以用那个让所有葡萄酒爱好者沮丧的词来总结:没有结论。我惊讶于32年陈酿的1982年Alexander Valley Cabernet能够保持得如此之好,酸度依然稳固,单宁柔和,红糖煎苹果般的果香,但我那位喜欢Silver Oak的朋友看法不同。他习惯浓郁的未成熟葡萄的甘甜果味,觉得这个“太老了”。这款酒的果味淡了,更具泥土芳香。
We were all pleased by both of the 2008 Cabernets -- the wife's and my favorite was the more restrained Alexander Valley, while the husband liked the Napa, which was a bit richer and more full-bodied than the Alexander Valley bottling. None of us much cared for the 2009 wines, which were both much oakier, the fruit sweeter and more overt. The 2009 Napa bottling in particular was decidedly young, but also tiring to drink -- it was sweet, with over- the-top ripeness. 'And it's certainly not cheap,' the wife said of the $110 price tag.
