Almaviva 2011
CRITIC REVIEWS
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…
