第二项要求价格要便宜,这是第二重要的事情,例如,第1名的E. GUIGAL Chateauneuf-du-Pape 1999的评分是93分,而ANTINORI Brunello di Montalcino Pian delle Vigne 1997的评分高达97,但是Antinori的Brunello di Montalcino价格比第一名的E. GUIGAL的Chateauneuf-du-Pape要贵出一倍有余,只能屈居第7的位置。但是值得注意的是,这里的价格是在美国的零售价!今年由于美国经济不景气,所以今年WS评选百大葡萄酒的时候,考虑价格方面因素比以往更多。
对于2002年的百大葡萄酒有一些值得关注的方面:
1.由于1997年是意大利Tuscany地区本世纪最杰出的年份之一,而该年份的Brunello di Montalcino Riserva因为法律规定需要在橡木桶里陈酿两年半,然后在在瓶中陈酿两年才可以release,所以今年才刚刚好上市,在百大里面有7支该年份的Brunello di Montalcino入选。
2.法国酒方面由于第一名是E. Guigal的Chateauneuf-du-Pape 1999,因而令大家对该年份的Chateauneuf-du-Pape格外关注(在国内从ASC公司可以买到这支酒),其实该年份虽然不错,但并非完美,而其该地区也只有3支酒入选。波尔多方面,1999年的夏天潮湿多雨,产量偏高而单宁略显缺乏,并非是个完美年份,反而是考验酒庄在葡萄种植和筛选方面的功力,而在此方面颇有口碑的Chateau Leoville Las Cases不负重望而入选。1998年份是波尔多右岸的St. Emilion光辉璀璨的一年,而今年入选WS百大的5支波尔多酒则全部来自Haut Medoc。

眼睛都看花了,就找到这几支,发现2002年的时候意大利的brunello di montalcino已经在美国很受欢迎了。其次就是barolo系列,有一款叫batasiolo真是不错啊,下次我就要专门介绍一下这款barolo ,在里面还找到一款白葡萄酒是antinori的cervallo della sala 原来这款是如此的出名,antinori公司有这么多酒受欢迎啊,真不愧是意大利第一的酒企啊。敬礼。
