🏰 The 2015 Almaviva hails from a dry and warm year in Maipo Valley, characterized by optimal conditions and a longer than usual harvest. Despite a hot and dry summer, careful management during the Cabernet Sauvignon harvest, particularly benefiting from cooler night temperatures, ensured balance. This vintage, celebrating Almaviva's twentieth anniversary, captivates with its opaque red brilliance and a powerful, complex nose. It offers an alliance of ripe fruit and subtle floral aromas, giving way to notes of caramel, licorice, and graphite. On the palate, there's a juicy attack of raspberry, blackcurrant, and black cherry, framed by fine, polished, velvety tannins, well blended with vanilla and cocoa, leading to a silky, slightly mineral finish. Critics note it as full-bodied, ripe, plush, and sweetish with chocolate cassis, smoke, and earthy notes, though still quite young and needing more time to fully settle. 【James Suckling's 2018 Wine of the Year, scoring 100 points】. 🍴 This rich and structured wine pairs beautifully with roasted red meats, hearty dishes with rich sauces, and mature cheeses. Think beef Wellington, lamb tagine, or a robust venison stew. 🥂 Ideal for celebrating significant milestones, fine dining experiences, or a prestigious wine tasting event, especially given its status as a landmark vintage for the winery.
