点评:What a brilliant set of wines we tasted! As is the case in most wine-producing areas, there are simply more wineries than you can visit for a tasting in a single trip, so choosing Craigie Knowe was decided by the toss of a coin. We had a last minute change of plans so we could only visit one winery on the day, and I'm glad we did! We were welcomed immediately on arrival by Milo, the young German shepherd who is fascinated by shadows that move when we walk. The cellar door and restaurant are nestled in the vines to create a rustic and unpretentious setting - the white marquee felt as if we'd perhaps come to the wrong place. But from the first sip of the first bottle my life changed. I'd not tasted many Tasmanian wines previously, but all seven Craigie Knowe wines that I tasted were simply superb. From the riesling through to the cabernet sauvignon, they all showed the same consistent features - delicious fruit flavours up front progressively softened by expertly balanced acidity to prevent the fruit from becoming too sweet, without being so dry that the acid sucks your cheeks in. All wines were blended exquisitely to the style of wine produced. I won't comment about each wine, otherwise I'd end up writing a book. But this was the best, most balanced wine tasting that I have experienced in a long time. And yes, I did buy a case.
翻译:我们品尝的葡萄酒真是精彩绝伦!和大多数葡萄酒产区一样,酒庄数量之多,一次旅行根本无法参观完,所以选择克雷吉诺威酒庄(Craigie Knowe)就像掷硬币一样决定了结果。我们临时改变了计划,所以当天只能参观一家酒庄,我很高兴我们这么做了!我们一到就受到了小德国牧羊犬米洛(Milo)的热情欢迎,它对我们走路时摇曳的影子非常着迷。酒窖和餐厅掩映在葡萄藤丛中,营造出一种质朴朴实的氛围——白色的帐篷让我们感觉好像我们走错了地方。但从第一口喝下第一瓶酒开始,我的人生就改变了。我之前没怎么品尝过塔斯马尼亚葡萄酒,但克雷吉诺威酒庄的七款葡萄酒都堪称绝品。从雷司令到赤霞珠,它们都展现出相同的特点——入口即化的美味果香,逐渐被精心平衡的酸度所柔化,既不会让果香过甜,也不会干涩到让酸味呛到你的脸颊。所有葡萄酒都根据各自的风格进行了精妙的调配。我不会对每一款酒都进行评论,否则我得写本书了。但这是我很久以来体验过的最棒、最均衡的葡萄酒品鉴。没错,我确实买了一箱。
