Wonderful Bourdeaux type blend from Chile. This is one of the top wines produced by this Country. It is a joint venture between Baron Phillipe Rothschild who also owns Mouton Rothschild in France; and Viña Concha y Toro from Chile.
The Wine maker, Michel Friou, is French with extensive experience including stints at Chateau Margaux and the other top Wine maker in Chile: Casa Lapostolle, which is owned by the Grand Marnier family in France. There he was in charge of blending their top Cuvée, Clos Apalta.
The 2009 Almaviva, is a powerful red which is well balanced with subtle hints of graphite, chocolate and tobacco. The fruity component reminds me of black cherries. Tannins are present but mild. — 9 years ago

Yummy full bodied Syrah with loads of dark fruit- blackberry plum cassis- a touch of spice and oak. Fruity and rich but not sweet. — 9 years ago

Very smooth. The partly barrel-fermented, partly-steel fermented really comes through. Great mouth feel and balance. — 11 years ago

Wonderful, unctuous texture, not overly alcoholic, complex aromas of grapefruit, honey and citrus peel, with a tinge of earthiness. Just missing a hint of acidity to be outstanding. — 10 years ago
