Slightly more lively and energetic than the 2010 vintage offering aromas of ripe dark cherries, blackberries, plums, lavender, licorice, torrefact soil notes, incense, and sweet spices, and a decadent yet well integrated lactic note. A full bodied red with delicious dark fruit flavors on entry followed by a refreshing balsamic midpalate full of orange peel, licorice, and a cool chalky mineral note that continues on to the long lasting finish with chewy yet highly polished tannins. So elegant yet so rustic at the same time, this just gets better and better. — 8 years ago

Almaviva – Red Blend – 2022
Puente Alto – Chile 🇨🇱

Overview
A “pure evil” expression of ultra-fine winemaking produced by the collaboration between Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Viña Concha y Toro. The 2022 Almaviva blends precision and power from Chile’s premier terroir in Puente Alto.
Varietal Composition: 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Carmenère, 4% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot. 

Aromas & Flavors
Cassis, blackberry liqueur, violets, graphite, cedar spice, and a touch of mocha, all densely packed but beautifully lifted.

Mouthfeel
Velvety, deep, and resolute. Superb tannin refinement with a long, elegant finish that balances richness with precision.

Food Pairings
Dry-aged ribeye, lamb chops, charred mushrooms, or a luxurious truffle risotto.

Verdict
Expressive, beautiful, and undeniably classy. A solid, velvety powerhouse that is enjoyable now or will age with grace.

🍷 Personal Pick Highlight
The finest expression I’ve tasted from Chile’s greatest terroir, Puente Alto, with roared potential and impeccable balance. — 8 months ago

Iron and dark fruits on the nose. Coffee and dark chocolate flavors with a discrete sour finish. A little bit awkward. It needs 1 year to achieve a nice balance. — 6 years ago
