Almaviva 2015
CRITIC REVIEWS
James Suckling
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.
Jane Anson
This latest release has 2% of Petit Verdot, adding a dash of dark pepper spice. Its a lovely wine, structured, intense but not tight, and beautifully balanced. There are some great liquorice and soft berry spice flavours, with notes of dark chocolate, cinnamon and sage. It has soft, smooth tannins which lend a supple texture to the wine. This gets better and better in the glass and has a freshness and grip that suggests great ageing potential.
