Scents of raspberry and spice lead the way
Reminiscent of a Rhone Valley Chateauneuf du Pape
Tasted at the vertical tasting at Malartic-Lagravière
cassis and floral pastille flavors that show surprising energy for their heft
Vertical and imposing in its sense of structure
Rothschild & Concha Y Toro, Almaviva Size:12x375ml Scents of raspberry and spiceHere are the markers of Maipo in a cooler vintage (90% of grapes were harvested in May) still rich and exotic with gentle spice, brambly blackberry fruits, toasted coffee beans, but balanced by a sense of elegance and lift with liquorice root notes. It's not as intense as the bigger vintages but is beautifully precise, making it great for drinking over the next few years. Includes a touch of Petit Verdot for the first time.
