Perfumed and concentrated, Almaviva 2022 layers blackcurrant and dark plum fruit with notes of lavender, dried herbs and subtle tobacco over a frame of polished yet firmly structured tannins. Despite the warmth of the vintage it shows impressive freshness and precision, giving a long, savory and graphite-tinged finish that feels both opulent and classically poised. A serious, cellar-worthy Almaviva that still offers plenty of youthful allure if approached early with air.
