烤羊排

烤羊排配Petrus
“天苍苍,野茫茫,风吹草低见牛羊”,在壮丽的大草原上,没有什么比夜晚燃烧的篝火、喷香的烤羊排、甘醇的美酒和热情的主人更加引起人无限遐想的了。烤羊排看起来好做,但需要不断在火上翻转以均匀受热,烤制好的羊排才能外焦里嫩,肉烂鲜香。果香扑鼻、醇厚多汁的美乐最适合搭配烤羊排,使用100%美乐葡萄酿造的柏翠,是最佳选择。柏翠是整个波尔多地区当之无愧的王者,价格远超左岸的五大名庄,年产量仅3万瓶,市场上往往难得见其身影。柏翠往往带有强烈的果香和焦糖气息,单宁肥美多汁,酒体圆润丝滑,回味无穷。张翛翰,乙末秋初。

Roast lamb chops and Pétrus
“Boundless is the sky, infinite are the plains. Herds and flocks can be seen when grass bows to the wind.”(Anon. Northern Dynasty) On the vast plains, nothing is more exhilarating than the fragrance of lamb roasting on a bonfire, accompanied by fine wine and a welcoming host. Roast lamb chops sound like an easy dish, but one must constantly rotate the spit onto which the meat is skewered to ensure even cooking of the meat. The finished lamb is lightly charred on the outside and juicy on the inside, offering an explosion of flavours on the palate. A deep and powerful Merlot with fruity aromas is great with this dish. Pétrus made with 100% Merlot is an excellent choice. Indubitably the king of Bordeaux, Pétrus’ wine is priced above those of the five big names of the Left Bank, and produces only 30,000 bottles per year, adding to its rarity. A bottle of Pétrus is often characterised by its hugely expressive bouquet with fruit and caramel notes, totally ripe tannins, opulent body and a glorious, long finish. Early 2016. Austin Zhang.
