2014 Almaviva, Maipo Valley, Chile Large Formats The chalky tannins and mouth-wateringDeep and intense, with bags of Cabernet blue fruit character, this, along with Via Sea, is proof of the potential in Chile for fine wine production. A touch of toast frames the rich, cassis and blueberry fruit on the palate, with ripe tannins adding structure. You could easily enjoy this now with ample decanting, but it would be best cellared for a few years. Fergus Stewart, Private Account Manager.
