2009 Majella The Musician

2009 Majella The Musician Coonawarra, Australia（Watson's $128，特價 $108，RP91）

葡萄酒的價格日趨昂貴，找一支又便宜又好喝的酒，似乎越來越困難。這晚一大班同事打邊爐，心想喝太貴的酒亦未必有人欣賞，看到有關這超值酒的介紹，毫不猶豫地買來一試，反正是便宜貨，就算不好喝，損失也不大。

Majella酒莊位於南澳的Connawarra，是澳洲非常值得信賴的酒莊，James Halliday曾給予五顆星的最高評價。The Musician是該酒莊的入門級酒，售價雖便宜，但多次獲得好評，是Robert Parker和很多酒評眼中的超值酒。

2009的Majella The Musician以57%的Cabernet Sauvignon和43%的Shiraz混合釀成。澳洲釀酒師使用Cabernet和Shiraz混釀已有很久的歷史，在Merlot尚未在澳洲廣泛栽種的年代，澳洲釀酒師便發現Cabernet和Shiraz之間的親合關係相當好，Shiraz適切地扮演著類似Merlot的角色，增添了Cabernet中段口感的多樣性。

真是一支很不錯的紅酒，Robert Parker給了91分。濃濃的黑醋栗的味道，果味、酸度、單寧、酒體平衡得很好，非常好！

Tasting Note:

While I never like to pick favorites, Majella's -The Musician- is a wine that I often drink at home because it so consistently over-delivers on quality, balance and a sense of place for its price. A blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon and 43% Shiraz, the deep garnet-purple colored 2009 The Musician Cabernet Shiraz displays wonderfully expressive aromas of cassis, crushed blackberries, some eucalyptus, fragrant violets and red roses plus a waft of lavender. Full bodied and very concentrated, it's not shy on the structure with crisp acid and medium to firm level of fine grained tannins. The finish is long and juicy with the faintest suggestion of toast. Approachable now, it should continue to drink until 2015. RP
