Tasting Notes

An extremely aromatic and focused Clos Apalta with blackberry, blueberry, floral and hot stone character. Full body, very linear and ultra-fine tannins. Focused and tight. Precise and long. This is the most polished and beautiful definition of this wine ever. You want to drink it now but better in 2020. A blend of carmenere, cabernet sauvignon and merlot.

48% Carmenère, 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot. Aged for 28 months in 100% new French oak.
Stunning nose: there's a quality to the fruit that is so distinctive and characterful. It has lovely mossy earthiness too, almost more mature than the 2012 – although the structure is certainly firmer. Attractive charred-meat character adds an animal complexity. Another superstar vintage for this wine.
