    ARGENTINA      
    CLOS DE LOS SIETE
A TOP Argentinean wine, made with the assistance of the famed French wine consultant Michel Rolland.
     
11 75cl 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
2003 £14.00 A really great wine; great with red meat, steaks and barbecues.
           
    CHILE      
    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.
     
96 75cl ALMAVIVA
Cabernet Sauvignon
RP-
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.
2005 £52.00 RP94
Now-2037
72 75cl 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.

2004 £52.00 RP93
2010-30
66 75cl 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.
