Deep yet attractive nose with lots of tapenade, spiced blackberries and blackcurrants. Some mint leaf, dark chocolate and currant leaves, too. The full-bodied palate is loaded with chocolaty tannins, which are super tight but fine-grained. Very youthful, vertical and impressively structured. Lots of muscle and length. It will need at least two to three years to soften and open up more. There is potential. From organically grown grapes. Wait until 2026.

The 2020 Albis is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Carménère from Pirque, Maipo Alto. it was aged for 16 months in new French barrels. An intense purplish-red in color. The nose offers blackberry and blackcurrant with attractive hints of cedar, bay leaf and marjoram. Indulgent in the mouth, the terse tannins of the region structure the rich, intense palate before the long, fruity finish. Here, the winery has found a way to mitigate the effects of the warm year.
