Almaviva

[삼거리]

요즈음 인기있는  칠레산 Almaviva의 vintage별로 특성과 rating을 알려드립니다.

2001년산이 WS 95 로서 가장우수합니다.  다만 조금은 인내심이 요구됩니다.

2007년정도가 가장적절한 시음시기라고 생각되는군요.  만약에 당장에 마시겠다면

오전출근전에 DECANTING후에 저녁식사와함께 즐기시기를 바랍니다.

1. Almaviva 1996 (1^st Vintage) : Parker Point 92

With wine making assistance from Mouton's team of experts, this

estate has produced a saturated ruby/purple-colored wine with

elegant, complex notes of cassis, pain grille, cedar, and tobacco.

Soft, rich, and multidimensional, this full-bodied wine possesses

exquisite complexity and a layered texture with no hard edges.
Drinkable already, it promises to improve for 7-8 years, and last

                                  for 12 or more.


2. Almaviva 1997 : Parker Point 91

The dark ruby-colored 1997 Almaviva exhibits aromas of black

currants, blackberries, and loads of grilled oak spices. Cassis,

assorted dark fruits, and layers of creamy wood flavors are found

in this full-bodied and superbly concentrated wine. It is opulent,

complex, intense, and loaded with ripe, round tannins.
Projected maturity: 2003-2012+.


3. Almaviva 1998 : Wine Spectator 90

1998 is a modern-style red, with powerful, extracted cassis, plum,

toast and brier notes. It's muscular and dense, but balanced, even

though the oak shows prominently on the finish for now. Impressive,

and should develop nicely.


4. Almaviva 1999 : Parker Point 90

The medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Almaviva has a Margaux like

red currant, blackberry, and violet scented nose. While its fruit

remains youthfully reticent in the mid-palate, this wine's attack and

finish reveals loads of red cherries, raspberries (both red and

black), currants, and cassis liqueur. It is a well-structured,

full-flavored, and mouth-coating wine armed with admirable

concentration. Its tannin is exquisitely ripe, supple, and angle-free. As this wine ages, its

middle should fill out to reveal the density of fruit evident in its attack and finish. When this

occurs it may well merit an even loftier score.    Anticipated maturity: 2005-2015.


5. Almaviva 2000 : Wine Spectator 91

The currant, cedar, mineral and cocoa flavors smolder underneath

the fleshy, enveloping mouthfeel, with a wall of ripe, finely grained

tannins taking over on the smoky finish... clearly outstanding.


6. Almaviva 2001 : Wine Spectator 95

The 2001 is a brick house of a wine, though, showing plenty of

Pauillac-like hints of iron, dried currant and cigar smoke, but it

also has layers of Chilean loam, blackberry, plum, spice and

minerals.   Loads here, and filled out on all sides, this is a powerful

performance in a powerful vintage.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2005

                                 through 2012.
