April 26, 2024 - WS Grand Tour (Walkaround Tasting) (New Orleans): I’m be if my favorites of the tasting with plenty of room for upside. Having had older vintages, I was surprised by how approachable this ‘21 was. You really could enjoy this now.
A substantial wine of dark berries and cassis, butterscotch, licorice and spice. A hint of something CBD/herbal on the nose adds some complexity. -

April 26, 2024 - Licorice, cassis, spicy butterscotch, plum, and subtle eucalyptus. Dry, satiny palate. Firm, medium intensity tannins on the longish finish.
This needs time. There’s potential built into my score. All the raw materials are there. Enjoyed this at Wine Spectator’s Grand Tour in New Orleans. My wife and I met Decanting Queen there. Very fun event. -

March 5, 2024 - Suckling Wines of the World: it was hard to fully appreciate this amongst so many wines to try and while this was another impressive Chilean Cabernet based wine with rich, ripe fruit, it was not a favourite for me and not as good as a previous vintages tasted.

November 17, 2023 - C'est une cuvée magistrale ! Le nez intense dévoile des notes de fruits noirs, de cacao et de vanille. La bouche est structurée et vive avec une belle persistance aromatique. La cuvée est délicieuse aujourd'hui et offre un potentiel de garde absolument remarquable. Sans aucun doute, Almaviva est enfin passé dans les "must to have", devant Cheval des Andes, à mon humble avis.

November 17, 2023 - Only three words: FA BU LOUS
By far, the greatest Almaviva ever made. Certainly For California and South America, 2021 promises to be a grandiose vintage!
