*chef's kiss*

For me just shy of an immaculate wine.
Immediately upon opening got a super prominent whiff of stewed vegetal / green peppers aroma. Blew off a bit over time. Flinty and graphite mineral and relatively muted fruit aromas.

Beautiful cherry/cassis/blackberry fruit. Medium body. Relaxed tannins. Lower acidity than I expected. But the finish. Elevated and never ending. One of those wines you never feel compelled to take the next sip, in a good way...you never lose the taste of your last drink.

Second almaviva we've had. Loved them both, very different from the '98. — 21 days ago

Выпито 05.056.21 в гостях у Крепчуков после теннисного матча. Не брал руку ракетку в руку лет 5! Но не опозорился, хоть и проиграл. Буду к ним подъезжать почаще. Что касается вина , то после первой выпитой бутылки - шираза от П. Лимана «8 songs», этот особого впечатления не произвёл .Очень спокойный рабочий шираз резерва 2012 года. — 15 days ago

Första årgången för detta vin från två av Chiles främsta vinmakare. Rund fin textur, rena smaker och avvägd élevage. Sval karaktär. Kanske inte direkt så vulkanisk som den marknadsförs. — 22 days ago

From one of the leading lights of the Chilean counter movement of wine, Pedro Parra, a doctor of terroir, soil and a very talented and well respected winemaker. 
The Imaginador Cinsault is sourced from granitic soils in the region of Itata, dry farmed of course. Partially whole clusters, light extraction and matured in a mix of old oak and concrete for 12 months.
It is definetely not a shy wine, near provacative in its profile yet with respect and the fundamentals intact. Ripe but fresh strawberries, bramble, red currants with a very prominent savouriness of crushed stones, black pepper and an almost overwhelmingly smoked meatiness. Palate is light and fresh, directed by its acidity, a slight, smooth grip from the tannins, good fruit intensity but falls a wee short on the final. Quenchanble but serious and a fun drinker. — 8 days ago
