pear and acacia blossom

deep and tightly wound

but I suspect that it will recover with age

Mild reduction is enough to render the nose difficult to read

Rothschild & Concha Y Toro, Almaviva other_regions_italy pear and acacia blossomHere are the markers of Maipo in a cooler vintage (90% of grapes were harvested in May) still rich and exotic with gentle spice, brambly blackberry fruits, toasted coffee beans, but balanced by a sense of elegance and lift with liquorice root notes. It's not as intense as the bigger vintages but is beautifully precise, making it great for drinking over the next few years. Includes a touch of Petit Verdot for the first time.
