Chapter 5 A Weird Wine
The third game will start soon.
Another red wine was served.
Everyone thinks this wine is not difficult to guess, because it has a rich and delicate fragrance, with a certain floral fragrance, elegant but not overbearing. This gentle and long-lasting but not overly strong feeling often comes from the right bank of Bordeaux, France, a particularly famous product.
The district is called Pomerol.
Pomerol is such a place. It is an outlier among the small production areas of Bordeaux in France, located on the right bank of Bordeaux.
Bordeaux is a place with a strict classification system. For example, the 1855 Grand Cru Classe in the Medoc production area on the Left Bank rated 61 wineries into five levels in 1855, from Fifth Growth to First Growth.
Zhuang, this level of evaluation has been followed to this day.
The Chateau Lafite we are familiar with is the First Growth in the Medoc Grand Cru Classification in 1855.
Only in Pomerol, there is no grading system for wineries, because it is not easy to classify. Here are all family-style high-quality wineries, all of which have artisan-level winemaking quality, making it impossible to classify and rank.
Judging by seniority.
Therefore, Pomerol, a small production area on the right bank of Bordeaux, only covers an area of more than 700 hectares, but it occupies an imperial position in the history of French wine. Almost every winery produces world-famous wines.
The famous Bordeaux wine kings Petrus and Le Pin are produced in this production area. The annual output is only a few thousand bottles, and the market price is even worse than Lafite.
The wines here are plump and sexy, with smooth tannins and rich aroma. The special thing is that the wines here can be enjoyed when they are young, and they are collectible and will become more mellow as time goes by.
A common word to describe this place is: very small and expensive!
Many times, for some senior alcoholics, everyone has a question, that is:
What kind of wine is the perfect wine?
Rich and full fruity? Balanced body? Complex aroma and taste? Very characterful? Or is it both complex and silky in the mouth?
Sometimes wine tasting is a very personal matter. A wine that person A thinks is perfect may have completely different tastes from person B. Therefore, the standard of whether it is perfect or not is actually very personal. Different people will have different views on the same wine.
At this time, the ratings of some famous wine critics often become the wine tasting guide.
To talk about the most influential wine critic in the world, I have to say Robert Parker. This American, whether you like him or not, is the most influential person in the global wine industry and the one who can influence wine the most.
A person who sees prices rise and fall, and his ratings of wines around the world have a profound impact on the prices of wines.
His scoring standard is extremely simple, using a 100-point scoring standard. According to his standards, each wine can get a basic score of 50 points, and the other 50 points are composed of 4 elements, including color and appearance, aroma, and flavor.
and aftertaste, overall evaluation and maturation potential.
In Parker's many years of wine review career, he has written tens of thousands of wine review reports and tried hundreds of thousands of bottles of wine. There are very few wines that can get full marks from Parker, probably only a few hundred bottles, and they are in
A selection of wines from around the world.
The third wine that everyone tasted blindly, Luo Fei felt that it was a wine that Luotou (his nickname for Robert Parker) once rated it as a perfect score, but he was not sure about its vintage and needed to think about it again.
Everyone was deeply moved by the third wine. Everyone closed their eyes and indulged in its unique fragrance, as if they had forgotten about the competition.
The rich man rarely said the word "perfect" gracefully, but the following sentence still exposed his rude nature: "His grandma's bear, is such a good wine still worth guessing?"
Only No. 3's goatee was a little anxious. He looked at the door from time to time, gradually losing his treacherous composure and becoming a little restless.
Only Luo Fei knew the reason for his anxiety, because the old guy found that his cooperating accomplice was missing.
In this round, there was an unexpected unity, and all five players guessed correctly.
This is the wine from Chateau Lafleur in Pomerol on the right bank of Bordeaux, France in 2000. Chateau Lafleur, as its name suggests, is the castle of flowers. In fact, the reason why this winery is famous is that the wines it produces are all
With a fragrant and floral aroma, some major wine critics once gave the wine of this vintage full marks without hesitation.
Château Hua Chateau is located in the Pomerol region on the right bank of Bordeaux. The wines produced at the winery are both complex and complex.
strength and purity, often with a charming floral fragrance.
This winery only produces about 1,000 cases of its official wine a year, and its output is extremely rare, so the price of the wine is astonishing.
It seemed that there was no difficulty. Luo Fei was a little bored. During the break between changing drinks, he stood up and stepped out of the balcony of the hotel box to get some fresh air.
The balcony and the aisle of the box were separated by a dark green curtain.
Luo Fei stood on the balcony and stared at the scenery outside the hotel in a daze.
At this time, there was a burst of small steps, accompanied by the sound of a phone call.
It was a woman's voice like a silver bell, but her tone sounded angry and urgent: "What on earth do you want to do? Stop torturing my mother."
Luo Fei's thoughts moved, he moved slightly, and his body was hidden behind the curtain.
Through a crack in the curtain, he saw a snow-white and familiar slim figure, it was the cold beauty No. 2.
There was sadness and dissatisfaction in Leng Meiren's voice, and she continued to say on the phone: "I will definitely do what I promised you. Don't force my mother anymore. If my mother has her shortcomings, I will never let her go."
It’s your fault.”
There was resentment and extreme sadness in her tone: "I am already doing my best, but more than 5 million is not a small amount, and it cannot be raised at once."
"But if you hurt my mother, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost."
The originally sweet and pleasant voice suddenly turned into a sinister and vicious tone, and Luo Fei had a cold war for no reason.
Leng Meiren continued: "Give me one more day. Even if I sell myself, I still need time to go through the procedures and withdraw the money. Don't push me too hard."
Leng Meiren hung up the phone, sighed, hugged her waist with one hand, and pressed her brow with the other hand, showing a frown on her face.
Luo Fei looked at her beautiful face from the side, rubbing her brows with her fair and jade-like hands. He had the urge to go over and help her rub it, but he resisted and did not move.
Leng Meiren was in a daze for a while, as if she couldn't think of a better way. In the end, she had no choice but to walk back to the arena, her steps staggering a little.
