Almaviva 2021 is a beautiful and balanced wine from Puente Alto, where Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère play elegantly together. The wine opens with inviting aromas of coffee beans, licorice and dark cocoa, followed by a generous and precise fruit profile.

The palate offers ripe blackcurrants and damson plums, nicely complemented by wild blackberries and green herbs, which add freshness and depth. The light bitterness and aromatic edge create balance and provide a counterpoint to the wine's round and ripe expression.

The 2021 vintage was characterised by stable and balanced weather conditions without extreme heat waves, resulting in a wine with clarity, structure and beautiful harmony. The wine was vinified by Michel Friou and aged in 75% new oak barrels, which elegantly supports the fruit and structure without dominating.

A wine with clear character, great drinking pleasure and potential.

96 /100

The 2021 Almaviva leads with a lively bouquet centered around black fruits, sweet tobacco, fresh herbs and well-integrated, high-quality oak. The palate is precise and coiled, finishing with a delicious combination of expansive, juicy sweetness framed by structured, finessed tannins that gradually gain grip with aeration. The seductive style at Almaviva dovetails very nicely with the effortlessness of this vintage, offering a darker, more open-knit drinking experience than the comparatively buttoned-up, red-fruited 2022. This is accessible now, but an additional two or three years in the cellar is recommended. - Matthew Luczy

97 /100

A stunning example of Almaviva, shot through with the generosity and restrained spice of Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmanère in Puente Alto. Coffee bean, liquorice and cocoa set the tone on the opening beats, showing the restrained glamor that the partnership of SA Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Concha Y Toro do so well. Plenty of fruit here, majoring on blackcurrant and damson, with just enough brambled blackberry buds and autumn hedgerow adding a welcome note of both bitterness and fragrance, cutting through the sleek ripeness of the palate, excellent reflection of the balanced weather in the 2021 vintage, with no challenging heat spikes. Winemaker Michel Friou. 75% new oak.
