2023 Almaviva
Auslieferung bis zum Frühjahr 2026!
Delivery until Spring 2026!
(Maipo Valley; 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Carménère, 4% Cabernet Franc; 1% Petit Verdot; 3% Merlot; 15% alcohol). More closed at first and less immediately floral than it often is. There are saffron and pollen note but one has to seek them out. Dark berry fruits. I find this quite smoky too. An unusual vintage of Almaviva that I find less aromatically expressive at this stage, though that is far from being a bad thing. The action for now is all on the palate. This is gloriously succulent and spherical in the mouth with polished tannins. Intense and energetic, with the at first deceptive power building through the mid-palate. Long and broad on the finish. Colossal in a way, but very subtle and delicate aromatically.
95/100 Colin Hay; The Drinks Business
Sandalwood, cedar and vanilla kick on the opening aromatics, with fennel, spiced plum, blueberry and salted cracker salinity on the finish, 70% new oak for ageing. Rothschild & Concha Y Toro joint partnership for this Maipo Valley estate, Manuel Louzada director, Michel Friou winemaker. Tasted twice.
