Casa Lapostolle Clos Apalta

Notes - 80% Merlot-Carmenere and 20% Cabernet. All the wine was aged 22 months in new French oak barrels. Deep and intense red purple colour. Complex and explosive nose of red fruits, blackberries, black cherry and raspberry, mixed with toasted notes of vanilla, cedar, black chocolate and coffee. On the palate, the wine shows density, volume, concentration and fullness. Firm, round tannins give the Clos Apalta a well-structured character, highlighting the fine, smooth texture of the fruit. The end palate is long, with velvety, silky highlights predominating on the finish. 94/100 Wine Specatator May 2006
