Clos de Los Siete
Matthew Jukes:
"My wine of the week stands shoulder to
shoulder with wines three times price, yet it lacks nothing in taste.
There is dense, dark berry fruit here, with bonfire nuances, smart
polished oak and heady spices.
This wines is a blend of Malbec, Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet.
Despite tasting incredible now, it will age like clockwork for a decade
- awe inspiring" - The Daily Mail |

A really great wine; great with red meat,
steaks and
barbecues. |

ALMAVIVA
A TOP Chilean
wine;
Generally considered one of the best wines from Chile!
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. |

Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2005 Almaviva is dark
ruby-coloured 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. |

ALMAVIVA
Cabernet Sauvignon
RP-
The 2004 Almaviva is styled
similar to the 2005. The multi-faceted aromatics deliver vanilla, clove,
floral notes, red and black currants, and a hint of chocolate. It is a
bit more forward than the 2005 with excellent focus and delineation.
Give this elegant yet concentrated wine 3-5 years in the cellar and
drink it through 2030. 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

ALMAVIVA
Cabernet Sauvignon
RP-
The 2003 Almaviva is a real
blockbuster, powerhouse vintage for this estate. With an inky
blue/purple colour, a beautiful nose of camphor, charcoal, blueberry,
blackberry, and some spicy but subtle new oak, the wine is quite
full-bodied, powerful, rich, but with silky tannins and loads of
glycerine. This could turn out to be one of the all-time great wines
released by this partnership and should continue to drink well for
another two decades. Almaviva is a partnership of Bordeaux first-growth
Chateau Mouton-Rothschild and Concha y Toro. Made in the style of top of
