Almaviva 2011

Rothschild & Concha Y Toro

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 95.0

Born the lovechild of Viña Concha y Toro and Baron Philippe de Rothschild, the Chilean powerhouse Almaviva, combines both the Rothschild spirit for creating spectacular clarets with the Maipo Valley’s sublime terroir. These wines truly are a must-have for lovers of claret looking for something slightly different.

Their 2017 was declared “wine of the decade” by James Suckling who awarded it a coveted 100 Points, whilst the 2018 received the praise of “one of Chile’s greatest reds” from Tim Atkin, who backed this up with a 98 Point score.

This full-bodied wine, comprises a Cabernet-based blend that is brimming with blackcurrant, spiced tobacco and herbal notes.

James Suckling

This shows wonderful length with subtle dark fruits as well as mint, floral and walnut undertones. Full body, with fine tannins that give this wine energy and focus. Its long and flavorful. A blend of 67% cabernet sauvignon, 25% carmenere, 5% cabernet franc, 2% merlot and 1% petit verdot. Give this until 2017 to soften.

Bright dark crimson. Very complex, sophisticated nose with clean bordeaux influence. Super-bright, fresh fruit. Great precision. Luscious ripeness and no Carmenère greenness. Energy and polish. Balance. Rather unashamedly drier tannins than in most Chilean Cabernets. Clearly set for the long term. If Ch Mouton Rothschild 2011 averaged £350 a bottle, I suppose £100 is a fair price for this delightfully subtle wine…
