智利王 亞瑪維紅酒 2020

智利四大天王之首，在酒界掀起炫風的漫畫－神之雫，第12集裡介紹到Almaviva，西班牙語意思是“活力的靈魂”。自推出以來，每個年份都在國際間獲得極高評價，堪稱智利第一美酒，同時也是世界級的佳釀。

智利第一大酒廠Concha y Toro與波爾多一級酒莊Château Mouton Rothschild精心合作下誕生的佳釀，可說是波爾多先進的釀造技術與智利優異風土條件的結晶。不僅被視為世界級的頂尖膜拜佳釀，更有「智利酒王」的霸氣美名。

酒名取自法國劇作家包瑪榭原著喜劇「費加洛婚禮」中的人物－阿瑪維瓦公爵。後來，莫札特更將其改編為歌劇。酒標描繪的是智利古代宇宙與大地圖騰。

JS100: JS 2017年度百大第一名 "這隻酒帶有宜人、繁複多變的菸草、黑梅香味，還略有礦石與花香和巧克力的香氣。剛強的骨架賦予這支酒飽滿、堅實的酒體。口感略帶有胡椒等香料的氣息。儘管我也非常愛2014年份的酒，但這支酒的單寧更細緻。整支酒的平衡度很高，各種氣味均完美結合在其中。69%卡本內蘇維翁、24%佳美娜、5%卡本內佛朗和2%小維多。再陳年五年會更佳，但現在飲用也很好。 A glorious and complex nose of tobacco, blackberries and hints of stones and flowers. Hints of bitter chocolate. Full-bodied, very tight and compacted. Linear backbone gives this form and tension. It has the same character on the palate as well as cayenne and other spice. Loved the 2014 but this shows more fine-grained tannins. So balanced and harmonious. A blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Carmenere, 5% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Needs four or five years in bottle but a joy to taste now. Decanter 96: This latest release has 2% of Petit Verdot, adding a dash of dark pepper spice. It's a lovely wine, structured, intense but not tight, and beautifully balanced. There are some great liquorice and soft berry spice flavours, with notes of dark chocolate, cinnamon and sage. It has soft, smooth tannins which lend a supple texture to the wine. This gets better and better in the glass and has a freshness and grip that suggests great ageing potential. WS 95: Powerful and rich, this is full of juicy dark plum, cherry tart and berry compote flavors that are creamy and lush. Hints of French roast and spice emerge midpalate, with a long finish that is elegant and savory. Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2023. RP93: 2015 was a dry and warm year, and the 2015 Almaviva shows ripe and voluptuous, with a full body and sweet fruit on the finish. The varietal breakdown is 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Carménère, 5% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot; the high percentage of the Carménère, a constant in warmer years, comes from Puente Alto and also Peumo, the classical zone for the grape in Cachapoal. The élevage was in 82% new barriques and lasted 18 months. It's creamy and sleek, with polished tannins. It was a ripe and dry year, with higher yields than 2014, which is more concentrated; in 2015 the yields were a little higher with slightly larger grapes and bunches, and for winemaker Michel Friou, this results in better balance, with a ratio of skin to juice that is more balanced than in years when the grapes are smaller and might produce very tannic wines. However, the wines show very consistent in the last few years, always harmonious and combining power with elegance while showing the nuances from the year, which tend not to be huge. This has a little less alcohol than the 2014, and the day I tasted it, it showed more Cabernet Sauvignon personality. This is more approachable than the 2014. Rating:93+
