A dense bouquet of dark cherries, plum, earth, meat and subtle tobacco pulls you in. It is big in the mouth, yet never brutish, with lovely depth of fruit flavor, earthy accents and great texture. The fine, long finish has even, dry tannins. Seductively accessible, this world class Almaviva 1998 is ready to be drunk.
Very successful for this difficult vintage, with sage, mint and mulled currant fruit mingling nicely with a roasted cedar edge. Lightly firm and angular on the finish, with obvious maturity, so time to drink up. Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère and Cabernet Franc.
