Chapter 309: Treasure Aging

It's a soothing and relaxing taste.

Li Qingrui held the glass tightly, and time shuttled, as if she had returned to 10 years ago, and saw the appearance of the 14-year-old boy secretly tasting wine for the first time.

It was a bottle of red wine from Italy, a gift from a friend of my father's seafarers, but it wasn't that high-end, and it could only be bought for a few hundred dollars today.

There was no corkscrew at home, so my father and mother tossed for most of the day, chopsticks, knives, and drivers...... I tried all kinds of tools in turn, and finally pulled out the oak cork that was blocking the bottle.

"It's so astringent, is this cat urine?" "My father, who was used to drinking liquor, only took a sip, then frowned and bared his teeth and shook his head, it turns out that this foreign wine is good-looking, it can bluff people, it doesn't taste smooth at all, it's not as good as the second pot head!

The mother didn't believe it, she poured a little into the porcelain jar, and after a sip, she couldn't drink it anymore, in her imagination the wine was made of grapes, it should be the sweet and sour taste, right? But this red wine was sour and astringent, anyway, she didn't think it tasted good.

At that time, people did not understand the way of wine, although grapes themselves contain sugar, but in the process of fermentation, the sugar will be converted into alcohol, alcohol transformation is basically sugar-free, and the more residual sugar, the sweeter it is, of course, the lower the alcohol content.

According to the amount of residual sugar, the wine is divided into dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet, and sweet, and their bottle is dry red, with less than 4 grams of sugar per liter, so it is naturally impossible to taste sweet.

The red wine with an open mouth was placed on the table like this, and my father and mother didn't want to drink it, but they felt that the gifts brought back by people from afar couldn't be wasted, right?

It's a pity to discard it because it's tasteless food.

In the end, it was my mother who slapped her thigh and went out to buy Sprite, and the sour wine was mixed with Sprite and drunk together, which was regarded as sparkling wine, and she was still able to accept this taste.

A 14-year-old boy, his curiosity was at the peak of his life, and at that time, there were not many opportunities to contact foreign wines, Li Qinghui took advantage of his parents' absence, and he secretly poured himself a glass.

What about the sour and astringent cat urine that was said to be good?!

He never imagined that there was a wine in the world with such a rich aroma and such a smooth taste. At that moment, he felt that he had accidentally broken into the Garden of Eden and opened the door to a new world......

The world of the past was shattered, and in this moment he decided the path of the future.

After ten years of hard work, Li Qingrui never minded others defining him as a utilitarian, and climbed up with one mind. sharpened his head and seized every opportunity to drill into high society, in fact, his goal is also very simple, the more people at the top, the more opportunities to come into contact with the rarest and greatest wine.

From this point of view, that hot-blooded 14-year-old boy, even if he grew up to be a vulgar adult, never lost that innocent heart.

A hot tear slipped from the corner of his eye and fell into the rich, brick-red liquid.

At this moment, he felt that his blood was boiling, the ultimate goal of his efforts, and the most important longing in the depths of his soul was not to taste this top-notch wine with his own mouth?

His hands trembled violently, and it took him almost all of his willpower to put the cup of magical liquid in his hand to his lips and pour it slightly...... The neck is slowly raised, and the sparkling wine pours into the mouth with a complex and rich aroma.

Li Qingrui felt that his heart seemed to be so excited that he forgot to beat, and at this moment, he tasted the taste of his dreams.

The memory of different wines in his brain was instantly activated, the aroma of the fruit beat in his mouth, the fruity aroma on the smell was as strong as the fruity feeling on the taste buds, he squinted his eyes and shivered comfortably, but this ripe and rich fruity aroma was the first time he felt it......

Could it be that some mysterious vineyard has secretly planted new grape varieties, no, such a ripe and rich taste, I am afraid that only old vines can bear such fruits?

The tongue gently held a small sip of wine, calmed down and felt the liquid rolling on the tongue, the wine was thick, although the eyes could not see, he also knew that every movement of this wine would leave a large and rich flavor on the taste buds of the tongue coating, activating every taste bud on the tongue coating.

As the plump liquor shook in his mouth, the goosebumps all over Li Qinghui's body stood up, this feeling was the first time for him, he had tasted the finest masterpiece of Napa Valley, the 1941 Parrot Cusk Cabernet Sauvignon, and although the taste also moved him, it was far less shocking than this time.

There had never been a wine that made him feel a hope from the bottom of his heart that time would stop there, and he drank it for eternity.

Even if there are 1,000 or 10,000 of them, the wine that has been carefully tasted finally slowly slides down the throat, and the wine flavor slowly fades out, but a long aftertaste floats leisurely......

The smell of black berries makes the aftertaste full of intoxicating fruity aroma, Li Qinghui felt that his body became smaller and lighter, and finally even grew wings, happily swirling in the orchard, and hit a black currant larger than his body with a careless "poof", the thin peel broke when touched, and his whole body was embedded in the tender and juicy flesh......

The sweet juice gently wrapped him, what a fragrant and gentle country!

A swaying spirit, an invigorating chocolate-like aftertaste slowly took over, and the secondary aroma gradually took over, and Li Qinghui felt that she had escaped from the blackcurrant and flew low over a river of fragrant chocolate......

It's so psychedelic!

The fragrance of chocolate made Li Qingrui feel uplifted, with a happy smile on her face, but she didn't expect that after tasting the wine, the aftertaste would be so long.

And also!

His expression froze, and a smell of mature leather emerged in his mouth bit by bit, a third-level aroma!

In wine tasting, there is a standard for evaluating the glass called complexity, which considers the level of aftertaste that the wine brings to people. Ordinary wine is already good if it gives full play to the first-level aroma and is pleasing to the eye, but the third-level aroma like this one is simply hard to find!

What's even more powerful is that these three different levels of aroma are progressive, not interfering with each other, mixed but not messy, I really don't know how this is done!

Sommeliers often taste wine but are not greedy for glasses, often only one sip of wine has completed the task, and even some extremely self-disciplined tasters will not even swallow after tasting the taste of the wine, just spit it out, not a drop of wine.

Li Qingrui had unconsciously finished drinking a glass of wine, and it wasn't until he held the tilted cup high but failed to get a drop into his mouth that he realized that he had actually finished drinking a glass.

"How is it?" Young Master Jiang and the fat general both looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to give a professional review.

Li Qinghui shook her head: "I can't tell which winery this wine is produced from, this wine is definitely an aging wine, at least 60 years old, mellow flavor, three-dimensional body, the main grape variety should be Cabernet Sauvignon, but there should be other varieties to assist, but I can't eat it...... Which winery's masterpiece is this?"
