Almaviva 2023, Puente Alto Rhone Red Blend The textures are vibrant andA refined wine showing lovely fruit with less verticality than the 2022, but here the magic is the roundness and smoothness, which is really poised. Subtle cedar, tobacco, olives and paprika on the nose. Sweet berries and fruit on the palate, with a medium to full body and a long, nuanced finish. More precise in terms of tannins this year, with immediate approachability. 97 Points James Suckling Region: Puente Alto, Chile Varietal: 74% Cabernet
