WS 2002年度百大葡萄酒的说明

今年Wine Spectator一年一度的百大好酒已经公布。WS每年选出百大葡萄酒的目的是什么呢?事实上,这就是一份美国市场的葡萄酒的购买指南。葡萄酒商店会拿着百大葡萄酒的名单做宣传,向消费者鼓吹某某酒入选2002百大,希望消费者能购买;而消费者看了百大名单后,也会增加购买的意愿,因为能够入选百大应该都是WS帮助精挑细选的好酒。我个人认为对于美国市场来讲,这份百大名单还是值得参考的,但是对于国内市场来说,就不能一概而论了。我们姑且不要讨论WS评分的客观性,也不需要讨论每个人的口味,我就把WS评选百大的标准给大家介绍一下,大家了解了评判的标准,自然对结果有了个人的见的。
WS评选百大的主要目的,确确实实是为了提供消费者一份"物超所值"的购买指南,主要有以下四项依据:
1. WS的评分
2. 在美国的零售价
3. 此酒在美国是否容易买到
4. 此酒是否能令评审的编辑感动
第一项当然是最重要的,分数越高代表品质越好。入选百大好酒的名单中的酒必须全部都在90分以上。我们姑且不讨论WS评的分数是否公正客观,也不要讨论每个人的口味,不然的话就说不完了。
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。
第三项是此酒是否容易在美国市场上买到,它依据年产量和进口到美国国内的数量而定。因为WS的年度百大好酒名单的目的,是提供给美国消费者参考的购买指南,因此当然要考虑该酒在美国市场是否容易买到。
第四项比较特别,他是一种特别加分。如果有某支酒令评分的某编辑特别感动,名次就会因为该编辑的特别加分而提升。
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。
