The whole June Wineonline club is immersed in a joyful atmosphere with two Argentina tastings. The whole precedure included Lu Jiang’s Argentina Wine Lecture, entertained auction and 36 wines blind tasting. In the first tasting on 14th June we focused on Mendoza region(which takes a 70% of the whole national output)and tasted 17 bottles。In the second round (22nd, June)we were trying to feel and learn the diversity of Argentina regions and virieties。We tasted 19 selected bottles in all ?including Torrontes,Pinot Noir,Malbec,Bordeaux Blend,100% Cabernet Sauvignon,Syrah and so on。
这36款都是在中国市场上能够找到,具有代表性的中高端水准的葡萄酒。我们在惊讶阿根廷实力不俗,风格多样的同时,也以不受干扰的盲品形式给出了自己心目中合适的分数。 我们的会员虽非专家,但都是有一定理论基础的葡萄酒爱好者以及一些从业者,相信这是一份能够真正代表大众审美的打分结果。
The 36 models mentioned above are representatives of Argentina middle-to-high-end wines and can be all found on the Chinese market.

除个别氧化外,这组阿根廷的酒整体品质可说非常不错, 平均得分都在86以上,作出取舍也十分艰难。我们的统计方式是将陆江老师的打分和俱乐部会员的投票相结合,最终统计出五款平均得分在90以上的第一梯队。具体如下, 排名不分先后:
