2018 Almaviva, Maipo Valley, Chile

Description

This vintage of Almaviva has a uniquely savoury nose for its age. Smoky bacon, tomato leaf and leather can easily be identified alongside blackcurrant, bramble fruit from the high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. The palette is lifted by high acidity and structurally, 2018 Almaviva is impressive. Medium to full bodied with grippy tannins indicates that this needs more time in the cellar. 2018 Almaviva has something special about it, and out of many wines, it really stood out. Drink 2021-2030.
