Almaviva是兩個傳統葡萄酒家族的結晶,一方是法國武當和Lafite的家族Baron Philippe de Rothschild,另一方是智利知名酒莊Concha y Toro。Almaviva是經典的波爾多混釀(以Cabernet Sauvignon占主導地位),代表了兩種文化相遇的結果。
智利提供了土壤、氣候和葡萄園,而法國則貢獻了頂尖的釀酒技藝和傳統,兩地文化的結合令Almaviva成為一款異常優雅和複雜的葡萄酒。它的推出不只在智利本土,甚至亦是國際酒壇的重要里程碑。

品酒筆記:
(Robert Parker's rating: 96+ points)
2021 年整體比 2020 年涼爽,葡萄酒更加優雅、細膩,單寧棱角更少…黑果的味道成熟而帶有香料味,沒有半點青澀。它有點害羞,比溫暖的年份含蓄,但絕對有潛力在瓶中發展。單寧猶在,如果再在瓶中存放一段時間應該會更為醇厚。與2020年份和2018年份一同品飲,2021年較接近後者,但更為優雅,相比之下2018年更加樸素和富草本特色。(Luis Gutiérrez)

清新而低調的Almaviva帶有淡淡的鉛筆屑、雪茄盒和黑加侖子味,還有一絲辣椒朱古力和薄荷的味道。香氣細緻入微,酒體中等,口感微妙,單寧絲滑,餘韻連綿不斷。現在可以飲用,但給它多些時間會帶來複雜的層次。


Two traditional wine families, Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Concha y Toro, sealed a profound alliance to create Almaviva, and exclusive Franco-Chilean wine. 
Made from a blend of classic Bordeaux varieties, in which Cabernet Sauvignon predominates, Almaviva is the result of a felicitous encounter between two cultures.

Chile offers its soil, its climate and its vineyards, while France contributes its winemaking savoir-faire and traditions. The result is an exceptionally elegant and complex wine. Its launch was a major milestone in the development of Chilean wines, both in Chile itself and in the international market.

 Tasting Notes:
(Robert Parker's rating: 96+ points)
2021 was an overall cooler year than 2020, with more elegant wines with more finesse and less angular tannins...The fruit is dark, ripe and spicy, nothing green about it; it's a little shy, less expressive than the warmer years are early on and a little more discreet but with potential to develop in bottle. The tannins are still present, and it should benefit from some more time in bottle.  I tasted it next to the 2020 and 2018, and it's closer to the latter; but this 2021 is more elegant, and 2018 is a little more austere and herbal.

A fresh and discreet Almaviva with subtle pencil shavings and cigar box to the cassis and hints of chili chocolate and peppermint. Nuanced and subtle on the nose. This is medium-bodied and subtle on the palate with silky tannins in the seamless finish. Very long. Drinkable now, but it will take its time to deliver complexity.
