Chapter 781: Wine Tasting
This bottle of wine is indeed the batch of red wine with ingredients made by Li Yi Winery, just over a month before brewing, Lu Ningshuang has already found something different, this wine is not only more complex than ordinary red wine, the taste is better, and its ripening cycle is much shorter than those dry red wines on the market.

"Your winery makes it yourself?"
Arnott picked up the wine glass, took a deep sniff, and then showed a very strange expression on his face, "I smell the fragrance of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, but there seems to be a more special and higher level of fragrance in this taste, or it can no longer be simply said to be a fragrance, this should be an extremely rare fragrance of plant essence that refines the floral and fruity fragrance to the extreme...... God, how did you do that? ”
"That's right, the aroma of this wine is indeed more complex than other wines, Arnott, your description of this herb essence is too apt!" Earl Bob shook the glass slightly, took a deep sip, and affirmed Arnott's discovery.
Li Yi was shocked, isn't He Shou Wu the essence of plants and trees? However, even if it was pure He Shou Wu water, he didn't smell any special smell, let alone he didn't add much here, how could these people smell it differently as soon as they smelled it?
You know, in the past six months, Lu Ningshuang has done a lot of research on this batch of wines, although she also found that this wine has a special fragrance, but she didn't say that this is the fragrance of the essence of plants and trees!
"Li, in terms of aroma alone, your wine has surpassed most of the world's wines, and it can even be said that more than 90% of the wines are inferior to it, and the remaining 10% of the reason why they did not choose it should be a large part of it is due to personal preference, you know, there is no real thing in this world that everyone loves." Arnault gently shook the wine glass in his hand while praising Li Yi's spiced wine.
"Of course, if it tastes as good as its aroma, then congratulations, man, you're going to be developed!"
Arnault took a shallow sip as he spoke, then slowly closed his eyes.
"Lee, you probably don't know yet, do you? Arnault is a top taster, and his sense of smell and taste is particularly sensitive. But he is also very picky about wine, so even if those top wineries want to invite him, he must think carefully about it, because if it is not really a top wine, he will not save them any face. ”
"Huh? Arnault is still a sommelier? It's still the top one? Li Yi shook his head, he didn't believe that this guy could become a wine taster because of his hobby, he felt that he should be for the sake of gentleness......
"That's right, you'll soon know how good he is." Cannavaro, who hadn't spoken much, also took a sip, he didn't study wine very deeply, but it was probably still possible to drink it if it wasn't a good wine.
"Oh buy ga! I can't describe the taste......" Cannavaro screamed as soon as he took a sip of the wine, but he really didn't have much research to describe exactly how the wine felt to him.
"Let me tell you, first of all, this wine has a weight that ordinary wines don't have, and I think it should be able to reach a level between heavy and overweight......"
The weight of the wine, also known as the body, is a term that is difficult to explain.
One of the most understandable and accepted expressions is probably "the body of the wine indicates how far the wine is from the water, and it comes partly from the alcohol content of the wine".
Normally, wine has a slightly lower weight than water, but it gives us a significantly higher sense of weight in our mouths than water. The body needs to be felt in the middle of the tongue, and the difference from light to heavy is like the difference between lemonade and coffee with whole milk.
Factors that affect the body of the wine are acid, tannins, dry extract content, alcohol content, etc. So, since it is a description of "weight", the body can be described in terms of light to heavy, which can be roughly divided into light, medium-light, medium-heavy, heavy, heavy and super heavy.
Ordinary wines are rarely overweight, and this phenomenon tends to only occur in fortified sweet wines.
"Then I'm going to talk about texture, because of the tannins, the wine astringents the oral mucosa and gives the mouth a wrinkled or grainy texture. The acidity of the wine stimulates the secretion of the oral mucosa, giving it a crisp feeling. The various ingredients stimulate each other, which creates the varied texture of the wine. ”
"The texture of this wine gives me the feeling of silk, quite smooth, and its slight and delicate tannin astringency is like skin touching silk, in addition to being slippery, there will be a slight astringency. But ......"
Arnault frowned as he spoke, "This wine feels very strange to me, it seems to be ripe, and it seems to be not ripe, it's really strange, it seems to be growing rapidly all the time......"
Looking at Arnott's frowning brows, Li Yi was indeed a little frightened, this guy is too powerful, right? How much research did Lu Ningshuang come to the conclusion that he just tasted everything with a simple sip?
"Overall, it's a great wine, but it's not fully ripe, it should take 3 to 5 years of ageing, and when it's really ripe, it's definitely velvety. Dear Li, have you already found a good agent for this wine? If not, I think we can have a good talk! ”
Hearing that Arnault was actually going to talk to Li Yi about wine, Earl Bob's face showed an incredible expression. You know, Arnault is a sommelier, and if a sommelier is a wine agent, it will have a great impact on his reputation, but ......
He couldn't wait to pick up the wine glass, took a sip gently, and then his eyes lit up, stared at Li Yi and said, "That's right, Mr. Li Yi, if you haven't found a good agent for this wine, I think I should be very interested in talking to you about this issue!" ”
"Oh, Bob, I brought this up first!"
"Hehe, dear Arnott, this doesn't matter, does it? You're in France, and I'm in Italy......"
"No, no, the production of this top-notch wine must not be too much, so I need all of its agency authorization."
"That's you're too greedy, Lee, I only need half a euro......"
Li Yi was dumbfounded and watched as these two guys started a fierce argument over agency, he still didn't understand it, although Lu Ningshuang also said that this wine is very good, but is it really good to this extent? These two guys can't be deliberately currying favor with him in order to occupy a certain advantage in future exchanges, right?
"Hey, hey, both, can you tell me? How good is this wine, and is it really worth arguing about? ”
"Of course! Boy, you know the emperor of wine, Romani. Kanti? ”
Li Yi nodded, the number one winery in the world, a bottle of new wine of the year costs thousands of dollars, and it is still rich and unavailable.
"The quality of your wine now is already the same as that of Romani. Kande is almost there, and if it is fully mature, I can't even guess what heights it will reach! So, do you think it's worth the effort? ”
Li Yi couldn't help but gasp, you know, it has only been half a year since this wine was brewed! Even if it is the addition of He Shou Wu water, it has only been brewed for half a year, and it is far from ripe to reach the emperor Romani in the wine. Kandi's degree, oh my God, He Shou Wu is too terrifying, right?!
"Okay, okay, don't fight, although I bought this vineyard, but now I have given it to someone else, so if you want agency, you should talk to that person, no matter how much you talk to me, it's useless."
"Oh buy ga! You would give away such a vineyard! ”
Arnault and Bob stared at Li Yi as if they had seen an alien, and even Cannavaro, who didn't study alcohol too deeply, looked as if he had seen a monster.
"What's wrong? What do you mean by that? Li Yi was a little frightened.
"Lee, you know what? What an honor it would be to have a winery that produces top quality wines on our side? Let's put it this way, it's like your family has a club with a long history and a world reputation like Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus, no, no, it's even more glorious than that......"
After talking for a long time, Li Yi finally figured out that if he could have a top wine estate, then even if he was a Chinese, he could easily squeeze into the aristocratic circle of Europe.
These two guys are fighting so fiercely for agency power, what they fancy is not how much money this wine can help them make, but the huge additional benefits that can be brought to them after monopolizing this wine!
"A more than Romani. Kanti is even more powerful, you actually gave it away casually...... Oh Maiga, if I could own such a winery, I would rather give my soul to the devil! ”
"Okay, okay, I think I can understand how you guys feel." A smug smile appeared on Li Yi's face, and he continued: "However, I didn't give this winery to anyone else, I just gave it to my future wife." ”
"......" (To be continued.) )
