good. Black currant, berry and cherry a bit. Almaviva 22 @31900, Pieroth, 241115 — 6 months ago
A splendid new wine from Marques de Concha Casa - 92% Cab Sauvignon, 6% Cab Franc, 1% Merlot, 1% Petite Verdot. Ripe aromas of vanilla (25 months in French oak, 71% new), loads of blackberry, violet, black cherry, tobacco leaf, forest floor, fennel and sage. Ripe, silky tannins give the wines an opulent, creamy mouthfeel. Medium finish. Very nice wine, probably best in the near to mid-term. — 2 years ago
A pure expression of a top wine region in Chile. Delanz is mainly sourced from “Alto Jahuel” vineyard, situated at the foothill of the Andes Mountains by the southern bank of the “Maipo” River, where a prime terroir for Cabs is all about. The blend composition is mostly dominated by 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 8% Petit Verdot, and 3% Petite Syrah. This Bordeaux-inspired wine brings an intense, perfumy and uplifting classic aromas of violets, mulberries and raspberries and some are also sensed on the palate. Definitely, It has a multi-layered mouthfeel, tannins are firm but balanced, and has some texture on the finish as well. Another premium signature of the famously female winemaker Emily Faulconer from first chilean winery since 1850. — a month ago

A blend of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot from Maipo Alto that spent 22 months in French barrels, 80% new and 10% in casks. This was a cold year, making for the ideal ripeness. The delicate, seductive nose combines raspberry with young blackcurrant, herb and mint. Well-balanced, it presents a smooth texture and a powerful flavor juicy on the tongue with just a hint of pyrazine that underlines the smoky finish. A serious wine.

Another property I have been.
These normally take some time before showing well. But this 21 was one of the top 10 in the 70 or so I tasted. Showing nicely & quite beautiful. 95-97 aged appropriately.
