Tasting Notes
A wonderful purity of fruit to this red with violets, currants and hints of mint. Full body, with ultra-fine tannins and a long and intense finish. There's a savory, dynamic citrus acidity and complex terracotta and iron undertone. Needs three or four years to soften. 61% cabernet sauvignon, 29% carmenere, 9% cabernet franc, 1% petit verdot. Better in 2018. Score: 97 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Maturity: 2018+ 20 June 2014
The 2010 Almaviva is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend complemented with Carmenere, Cabernet Franc, and for the first time in 2010, a small quantity of Petit Verdot. 2010 was a cool vintage, giving the wine an herbaceous character with good freshness and balance. It is still young with some lactic notes and some aromas derived from the elevage (roasted coffee and dark chocolate), with terse black fruit and some beef blood overtones. This vintage seems to be a worthy follower of the 2005, with sweet round tannins, intense flavors, very good balance and the stuffing to live a long life in bottle. Score: 92 Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2015-2025 01 June 2014
A svelte red, with excellent focus and length to the powerful dark plum, slate, dark currant and dried blackberry flavors. The black olive notes grow in intensity and join bittersweet chocolate accents on the long, well-framed finish. Drink now through 2022. Score: 94 Winespectator.com, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2013-2022 31 December 2013
The joint venture between Mouton-Rothschild and Concha y Toro. Blackish crimson. Rich, sweet, brambly nose. Hints of tea leaves. Interesting! Very mellow and ripe on the front palate and then it’s nicely zipped up to retain the refreshment factor on the finish. Zesty and quite serious and intriguing. Succulent. Score: 17 - 18 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2013-2020 04 July 2013
