Almaviva is a partnership of Bordeaux first-growth Chateau Mouton-
Rothschild and Concha y Toro. Made in the style of top of the line
Pauillac, the blend is typically 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22-23%
Carmenere (a very close relative of Merlot), and 4-5% Cabernet Franc.
It spends 18 months in new French oak and is bottled unfined and
unfiltered. The 2005 Almaviva is dark ruby-colored with a classy
nose of smoke, violets, mineral, pencil lead, espresso, black
currants, and blackberry. This is followed by a supple-textured
wine with layers of sweet fruit, excellent depth and concentration,
and well integrated oak, tannin, and acidity. There is enough
structure to support 5-7 years of further evolution in the bottle
and it should continue to drink well through 2037.
