The Almaviva 2000 represents the fifth vintage of the prestigious joint venture between Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Viña Concha y Toro, a collaboration that superbly blends French tradition with Chilean terroir. Despite being a challenging millennium vintage, the year 2000 yielded a wine that is ripe and expressive, showcasing the unique potential of Puente Alto. This wine embodies a harmonious balance between robust character and refined elegance. On the nose, the Almaviva 2000 offers a fragrant and aristocratic bouquet with notes of cherries, blackberries, cigar box, cassis, licorice, black olives, mint, pipe tobacco, and violets. The palate is greeted with expressive currant and plum flavors, supported by smooth, mild tannins and a delightful sweetness of bitter chocolate, leading to a deep finish of plum and coffee. It presents a medium to full body with impressive richness and intensity. Food pairing suggestions: This bold and structured red blend is an excellent match for rich red meats such as grilled beef, venison stew, or slow-cooked lamb. Event suggestions: Ideal for a sophisticated dinner party, a special occasion celebrating achievements, or as a thoughtful gift for a discerning wine collector. 【A superb blend of French tradition and Chilean terroir, a joint venture between Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Viña Concha y Toro.】
