2015 Almaviva, Maipo Valley, Chile

Blackcurrant, flower, lead-pencil, and iodine aromas. Medium to full body with firm, polished tannins. Very young and solid. Reserved now, yet if you dig down deep on the palate it shows so much. There’s so much beneath it all. Give it time. The incredible depth and structure is all there. It was our Wine of the Year in 2018. 69% cabernet sauvignon, 24% carmenere, 5% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot. Try after 2025 or later.
