--------
由南非富商Rupert 同擁有Chateau Lafite的Benjamin De Rothschild 二大家族於南非的共同創立,
利用南非得天特厚的風土Terrioir 加上法國頂級酒莊的技術
造就呢支旗艦酒Baron Edmond
如果睇完排頭, 再睇如此貼地的價錢, 你可能以為酒莊旗艦另有其他款,
但其實佢真係旗艦酒黎...
所以...南非酒係好抵玩㗎

Official tasting note:

Aromas of blackberries, cassis and fennel, with resonating layers of forest floor and cedarwood, harmoniously integrated in a focused, delicately textured palate.
Pairs perfectly with fennel crusted sirloin, celeriac purée, potato fondant, hazelnut beurre noisette and a fig and red wine jus.
