critic reviews
Sandalwood, cedar and vanilla kick on the opening aromatics, with fennel, spiced plum, blueberry and salted cracker salinity on the finish, 70% new oak for ageing. Rothschild & Concha Y Toro joint partnership for this Maipo Valley estate, Manuel Louzada director, Michel Friou winemaker. Tasted twice.
The 2023 Blend Almaviva is composed of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Carménère, 5% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Sourced from a warm, dry vintage, this reflects the character of the year, though the winery has managed it with notable finesse. The nose delivers aromas of lavender, violet and blood orange, followed by hints of plum, blackberry and soft spices. Generous and juicy on the palate, this offers enveloping volume, fine-grained tannins and a fresh, sustained finish. Exceptionally well-crafted for the vintage, the 2023 once again secures its place among the top wines of Puente Alto.
