🏰 【A prestigious Bordeaux-style red blend, Almaviva 2016 is a joint venture between Bordeaux's Château Mouton-Rothschild and Chile's Concha y Toro, marking its 20th anniversary in 2016】. This elegant wine, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with 24% Carmenere, was aged 16 months in new French oak. The 2016 vintage, a cooler year with late April rains, resulted in a fresher, more fluid style with fine tannins and a lower alcohol content of 13.9%. 🍴 Its elegant and powerful profile makes it a superb match for a New York strip steak with buttered onions and chile skillet broccoli rabe, or simply a perfectly grilled steak. 🥂 Highly recommended for special occasions, this wine is drinking beautifully now but has the potential to improve over the next 12 to 15 years.
