2020 Almaviva Baron Philippe de Rothschild Vina Almaviva stark-Condé excellent energy and lengthSuckling 98, A fresh and discreet Almaviva with subtle pencil shavings and cigar box to the cassis and hints of chili chocolate and peppermint. Nuanced and subtle on the nose. This is medium bodied and subtle on the palate with silky tannins in the seamless finish. Very long. 71% cabernet sauvignon, 22% carmenere, 5% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot. Drinkable now, but it will take its time to deliver complexity. Parker Luis Gutierrez 96+, 2025
