澳洲酒莊


Jim Barry

 
 
 
金柏瑞Jim Barry是澳洲少數獲得澳洲葡萄酒大師James Halliday評定的五星酒莊之一。
 
位於澳洲Clare Vally,金柏瑞Jim Barry於1959年由Jim與Nancy Barry所創立,2009九月才剛過50歲生日,現在已經是澳洲頂級酒廠。
 
Jim Barry於1964年購買下Armagh地區Duncan McRae Wood這裡70英畝土地,奠定了他成功的關鍵。由精選的Armagh區葡萄而釀製的Armagh Shiraz於1985年生產第一個年份,酒評家Robert Parker公開稱讚其為澳洲偶像酒之一,與Penfolds Grange、Clarendon、Henschke's Hill of Grace、Wynns Michael等澳洲酒款平起平坐。
 
Jim Barry的酒款富含澳洲本土風格,又包含了節制的風範,使他各個系列酒款都有很高的消費者接受度,包含使用與頂級酒Armagh同樣地區葡萄叢的McRae Wood Shiraz,風格節制而價格更優雅的Lodge Hill系列等等。

金柏瑞Jim Barry是澳洲少數獲得澳洲葡萄酒大師James Halliday評定的五星酒莊之一。位於澳洲Clare Vally,金柏瑞Jim Barry於1959年由Jim與Nancy Barry所創立,現在已經是澳洲頂級酒廠。

 

Jim Barry於1964年購買下Armagh地區Duncan McRae Wood這裡70英畝土地,奠定了他成功的關鍵。由精選的Armagh區葡萄而釀製的Armagh Shiraz於1985年生產第一個年份,酒評家Robert Parker公開稱讚其為澳洲明星酒之一,與Penfolds Grange、Henschke's Hill of Grace、Wynns Michael等澳洲酒款平起平坐。

 

澳洲葡萄酒逐漸受到國際收藏家和投資人重視,澳洲著名的葡萄酒拍賣公司Langton's為了讓買家瞭解市場對澳洲葡萄酒喜好和需求的變化,自 1991年開始編製Classification of Australian Wine〈澳洲葡萄酒分級〉,現已成為市場上投資澳洲葡萄酒的重要指標,分級共分4等,分別是Exceptional、Outstanding、Excellent、Distinguished,而酒莊以Shiraz釀造的旗艦酒Armagh在歷屆版本中總是評價於Exceptional或是Outstanding之中,特殊性無可比擬,等同法國波爾多五大酒莊的重要性。

 

如果說Armagh是Jim Barry最好的Shiraz,那這支Benbournie就是他最好的Cabernet Sauvignon!

 

以來自Clare Valley的40年老藤,成熟卻不過分肥碩的優質Cabernet Sauvignon葡萄釀造,帶煙草葉與雪茄盒香氣,柔和奔放的藍莓風味,點綴上肉桂與迷迭香等辛香料,酒質細密優雅,單寧軟熟絲滑,這是因為Jim Barry想要打造的是能夠陳放數十年,早點開瓶也非常好喝的佳釀。WA給予93分且說有『爆發令人激賞的果香辛香層次』,WS的93分與Stephen Tanzer的93分,也同樣證明其卡本內旗艦酒實力,他『有悠長且甜美的韻氣』,甚至名列Matthew Jukes評鑑中的『百大澳洲佳釀』名單中!

 

 

Wine Advocate:93 points

The 2004 Benbournie Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from a vineyard planted in 1964 and aged for 14 months in French and American oak. It is a glass-coating opaque purple color. It sports an expressive perfume of cedar, tobacco, cassis, spice box, and black currant. Opulent and full-flavored in the mouth, it has enough structure to evolve for another 3-5 years. 
 

Wine Spectator:93 points

Polished, fleshy, focused and elegant, this is still youthful, offering savory blackberry and dusky spice flavors that are beautifully integrated. Displays length and charm. 
 

Stephen Tanzer(IWC):93 points

Deep ruby color. Powerful aromas of cassis, cherry-cola, vanilla bean, pipe tobacco and black pepper, with suave floral undertone. Palate-staining red and dark berry flavors are firmed by juicy acidity and given shape by velvety tannins. The spiciness gains strength with air and carries through the strikingly long, sweet finish. This would stand up well in a flight of cult Napa cabs.

 

Matthew Jukes 100 Best Australian Wines 

A massive brooding, black Cabernet with magnificent complexity and a heroic finish, '04 Benbournie is fashioned along an ancient, untamed recipe for Cabernet which we rarely get to see these days. A little more muscular than you might expect for a Jukesy-wine, Benbournie guarantees its spot in the 100 by virtue of its devastating purity, hypnotic aroma and rampaging core fruit. If you love Super Tuscan wines and top flight Napa Cabs, then this towering red will exceed your expectations by a mile.
