Wine Cask：澳洲发明的软袋纸盒葡萄酒容器

1965年，南澳的Tom Angove发明了软袋纸盒的葡萄酒封装方式，并申请了专利。这种包装里面是塑料袋，外面是硬纸盒保护，饮酒时需要从顶上把塑料袋扯出剪出一个口子，才能把酒倒出，然后可以夹好塞回盒里。这是世界首创，主意源自欧洲装醋的袋子，而盛放液体的软带子的历史就更久远了。

早期的Bag-in-Box Wine Cask

这种容器不但降低了封装运输成本，由于软袋会随着酒的倒出而收缩，大大减少了葡萄酒与空气的接触，因而包装打开后，可以存放更长的时间，所以可以使用更大的包装。玻璃瓶装的葡萄酒，开瓶后超过3天就的味道就大打折扣了，而现在的Wine Cask放3个星期都可以。常见的Wine Cask是2-5升，也有更大的包装。

如今的袋盒装

Tom Angove虽然发明了“酒袋盒”，然而把它发扬光大的却是Wynns酒庄的David Wynns。1967年Penfolds的Malpas改进了设计：塑料袋镀上金属，并安装了塑料开关。David Wynns买下了该专利了，并改进了袋子的材质，才使Wine Cask被广泛采用。David Wynns也因此在1993年荣获了著名的Maurice O'Shea奖。

2002年澳大利亚市场上的葡萄酒，48%是用袋盒装的。但这个市场正逐渐萎缩——始作俑者Angove酒庄已经退出了这个市场，走高端路线；2000年起，袋盒装的葡萄酒每年以大约6%的速度在递减。但时至今日，纸袋盒仍占据着澳大利亚近40%的市场。

小拉斐Carruades De Lafite Pauillac 1994

Carruades De Lafite是拉斐酒庄的副牌酒，俗称“小拉斐”，名字来源于拉斐最好的葡萄园边上一片叫做Carruades plateau的葡萄园地。它和“大拉斐”相比，Merlot的成分更多。通常的混合比例是：Cabernet Sauvignon 50-70%, Merlot 30-50%, Cabernet Franc和Petit Verdot 0-5%。年产量2-3万打。 酒色深红，和“拉斐古堡”一脉相承的味道，花香型，甘草、紫罗兰、杏仁，熟红浆果，少许咖啡。酸度适中，酒体中等偏重，辛辣香；藤枝苦，但余味回甘。醒了一个多小时，没有太多的东西出来，单宁熟透，酒精融合得很好，很顺滑。口中的表现不算很丰富，但是余味却足以令人惊艳——甘草带着花香，余韵至少二三十秒，令人陶醉。毕竟20年的老酒了，芳华不在，但风韵犹存。感谢阿峰的多年珍藏和慷慨分享！ 评分：91  (WS: 86) 市场价：AU$330+ 佳饮期：已过 酒精度：12.5% vol 产区：法国波尔多（子产区：Médoc, AOC: Pauillac) 封口：软木塞

拉斐古堡Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac 2006

闻名遐迩的法国拉斐酒庄始于1234年，位于波尔多Médoc产区的Pauillac村，名字来自方言"la hite"，意为“小山丘”。17世纪，Ségur家族接手该酒庄，扩大了种植，提高了酿酒技术，并把酒成功推介入上流社会，使他们的酒款被称之为“帝王之酒（The King's Wine）”。1868年8月8日，男爵Rothschild以440万法郎拍卖下该酒庄，此后该家族一直持有该酒庄。1885年的波尔多名庄分级中，拉斐位列四大一级酒庄之首。从此以后，拉斐生产的葡萄酒一直是世界上最贵的葡萄酒之一，在国人的追捧下，拉斐酒的价格更是一度高涨。 Chateau Lafite Rothschild被称为“拉斐古堡”，是拉斐酒庄的正牌酒，俗称“大拉斐”。它通常的混合比例是Cabernet Sauvignon 80 - 95%, Merlot 5 - 20%, Cabernet Franc和Petit Verdot 0 - 5%.。年产量1.5-2万打。2006年波尔多开始的气候不错，可惜8月起多雨，是葡萄成熟度不高，但总体还算是是个不错的年份（7/10），酿酒师的功力是关键。 开瓶就能闻到优雅的酒香，酒色黑紫红。醒酒45分钟后开始品，还有有些涩口，味道还比较封闭。1小时渐入佳境，1个半小时达到最佳状态。紫罗兰和杏仁的芳香，成熟红浆果、咖啡、雪松，辛辣有苦回甘。酒体丰厚而细致，味道浓郁而优雅，酸度适中，较干，单宁如丝，余味芳醇，久久不去，令人迷恋。不过2小时后味道便明显下降。 评分：97 (RP/WA: 97; WS: 92 - 94; Jancis: 18.5/20) 市场价：AU$900 - 1500 佳饮期：2014 - 2033年 酒精度：12.5% vol 产区：法国波尔多梅多克（Médoc） 封口：橡木软塞 Bar Code: 3 296331 006102

Shaw + Smith Sauvignon Blanc 2012

介绍Sauvignon Blanc的时候提到过南澳的Adelaide Hills是其最好的产区之一，而这其中的代表酒庄就是Shaw + Smith。该酒庄由行业老手Martin Shaw和Michael Hill Smith MW表兄弟创建于1989年。Michael Hill Smith是澳大利亚第一位葡萄酒大师，是一名国际葡萄酒品评师、咨询师，并大力倡导澳大利亚葡萄酒。他2009、2011、2013年连续3度入选“全球葡萄酒业最具影响力的50人”榜单，并因对澳大利亚葡萄酒产业的贡献，于2008年被授予了澳大利亚勋章。 酒是明亮的胆草黄色，酸度纯净而强劲，桔橙的底味，载着百香果（passionfruit）的香味，悠悠余香，伴着细致矿石收结。通常喝白葡萄酒都不进行醒酒，但发现这款酒需要醒一醒才能使香味释放出来。 评分：91 (JH: 96超值; Tyson Stelzer: 93) 市场价：AU$21 - 28 佳饮期：2012 - 2014 酿酒师：Martin Shaw and Darryl Catlin 酒精度：12.5% vol 产区：南澳的Adelaide Hills Bar Code: 9 316770 000104
