Falstaff August - 2017
Falstaff
Medium carmine garnet, ochre reflections, broad rim lightening. Somewhat closed bouquet, opens up with nuances of liquorice, cassis, a hint of ethereal notes, fresh blackberry confiture, floral touch of violet, some fine wood undertones. Juicy and elegant, fine extract sweetness, ripe morello cherries, good balance, salty-citrusy touch, very lively, fresh and invigorating, red berry touch on the finish, light-footed delicate style, a finesse-rich wine from a"smaller"vintage. At its peak now. Peter Moser

Wine Spectator January - 2001

Modern-style red, with powerful, extracted cassis, plum, toast and briar notes. It's muscular and dense, but balanced, even though the oak shows prominently on the finish for now. Impressive '98; should develop nicely.

Jancis Robinson January - 2006
Jancis Robinson
Cabernet Sauvignon 72%, Carmenère 26%, Cabernet Franc 2%. Dark crimson. The El Niño vintage. More transparent somehow, with quite attractive lift. Not as intense as some but well balanced and very fresh acidity. I like it although acid-phobes might not. Rather sinewy and lissome. Just a suggestion of inkiness.

Almaviva
The great Chilean wine of the Rothschilds finds in the burning personality of Count Almaviva a faithful mirror of its ardor and purity. If Rosina's lover inspired the genius of Mozart and Rossini, there is no doubt that Mouton Rothschild's Chilean brother will also blow you away with all its flamboyance! A remarkable marriage between the Bordeaux tradition of the Rothschilds and the magnificent sun-drenched terroirs of Chile. Dense and deep color with purple reflections. The nose, very fruity, opens with notes of cherry and blueberry, with a small hint of raspberry, discreet and delicate, bringing beautiful originality and great aromatic complexity. The palate entry is very round, with supple and coated tannins, melted into a set of multiple flavors where beautiful fruity notes of black cherry and more exotic notes of cocoa and spices are expressed in turn. Rich and flavorful finish, combining all the fullness of a generous grape variety and the powerful character of the best Chilean terroirs of the Valle Central.
