Color: Deep red with purple shadows.

Nose: Intense, ripe red fruit aromas typical of Apalta. Plums and cherries integrate well with the delicate oak touches of sweet spice, nutmeg and vanilla.

Mouth: A generous attack is followed by a pleasant and smooth mid palate. The finish is persistent and the overall structure is vivacious and well balanced. Ready to drink now or cellar for several years.

Wine Spectator Fresh and forward, with lively black cherry, plum and tobacco flavors. Slightly firm, toasty finish. Drink now through 2007. Score: 87. —James Molesworth, May 15, 2006.

Wine Enthusiast Smoky and round, with big black fruit delivering a serious opening salvo. Like most from Lapostolle, this is a big-boned red with full plum and black cherry aromas and flavors. Plenty of oak yields vanilla and chocolate late. A solid, very nice Chilean Merlot. Score: 87. —Michael Schachner, July 01, 2006.
