The 2016 harvest was complicated by rain in late April, which made them hurry up and finish two weeks earlier than normal. The year was also cooler, and the 2016 Almaviva, a blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Carmenère, 8% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot has less alcohol at 13.9% compared to 15% in 2014. The élevage was shortened to 16 months, and they decreased the percentage of new French barrels used—down to 77% from the 82% in the previous year. The wine is fresher and less marked by the oak, a more fluid version, with fine tannins. This is a little different, a lighter and fresher year. It was a very dry winter, complicated by rains. I found very good harmony and fine tannins, balance and freshness in one of the most elegant vintages I remember from Almaviva. This has contained power, very accessible tannins and no green notes at all. It's young but accessible and should develop nicely in bottle, as it has the balance and freshness. This is an elegant and fresh vintage for Almaviva, young and tender, taking advantage of the natural conditions for it. Well done! 180,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2017.

Elegant, powerful and well-structured, with a refined mix of dark fruit, dried red fruit and spice flavors. Dried herbal notes emerge midpalate, with a minerally finish that is long and rich-tasting. Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2025.—Kim Marcus

Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Concha Y Toro
Ein Joint Venture zwischen einer der größten kommerziellen Weinkellereien Chiles, Concha y Toro, und der berühmtesten Bordelaiser Familie Mouton-Rothschild hatte das absolute Premium-Projekt Almaviva zur Folge. Ziel dieses 1997 gegründeten Zusammenschlusses war die Produktion von Weinen auf Cabernet-Sauvignon-Basis im fruchtbaren Maipo-Tal in Chile. Oder genauer gesagt, die Produktion von Weinen, die es mit den größten Grand Cru Classés von Bordeaux aufnehmen können. Dieser erstaunliche franko-chilenische Wein wird heute auf über 85 Hektar Rebfläche produziert, wovon 40 Hektar mit den besten Puento-Alto-Weinstöcken von Concha y Toro bepflanzt sind. Der berühmte Weinmacher von Mouton und Opus One, Patrick Leon, beaufsichtigt auch die Produktion von Almaviva und kreiert komplexe, kraftvolle Weine, die an die grandiosen Bordeaux-Verschnitte erinnern.
