品酒笔记：
散发着蓝莓、黑莓与鲜花的香气，风格清爽纯粹。酒体中等，单宁细腻、呈线性分布且融合度极高，质地紧致又具丝绒质感。本品为阿尔玛维瓦酒庄（Almaviva）的新款副牌酒，需时间醒酒以释放风味，建议 2024 年后饮用

口感新鲜度方面，这款酒与我同期品鉴的 2018 年份埃普十分相近，显然酒体更年轻一些，果香浓郁且主导风味，伴有辛香与草本气息，质地如奶油般顺滑，单宁呈细腻颗粒感。尽管是副牌酒，酒庄仍希望赋予其独特风格 —— 埃普或许更偏向经典风格，换言之，这款副牌酒更具波尔多风味。

Characteristics:
Aromas of blueberries, blackberries and fresh flowers. Very cool and pure. Medium-bodied with fine, linear and very integrated tannins that are compressed and silky-textured. New second wine of Almaviva. Needs time to open. Try after 2024.
—James Suckling 94/100

The first truly international release of the second wine is going to be the 2019 Epu, which has changed image and label, looking a little more like Almaviva, and is going to be sold through the Bordeaux négoce. 2019 was a very dry vintage, and the blend is 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Carmenere, 2% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc with slightly higher alcohol than 2018 and with lower acidity, matured in used barriques for one year.
In terms of freshness, the wine is quite similar to the 2018 that I tasted next to it, obviously a little younger, quite intense and fruit-driven, spicy and herbal, with a creamy texture and fine-grained tannins. It's a second wine, but they also want to do something different and Epu is perhaps a little more classical, perhaps this is more Bordeaux and Almaviva is more Chilean. 70,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2020 and January 2021.
