Casa Lapostolle Clos Apalta 2003
Color: Deep ruby red with purple shadows. Nose: Intense and fine with notes of ripe red and black fruit (wild raspberries, cranberries, blackcurrant and blackberries). Notes of cassis and mocha are also present with some sweet spices and vanilla highlighting a very pretty and well-integrated complexity from the oak aging. Mouth: Smooth, round tannins provide an elegant entry. The mid-palate is rich and silky, leading toward a very long finish. Wine Spectator Loads of ripe fruit, with plum, blackberry and boysenberry flavors pumping through, backed by suave, mocha-infused toast, mineral and spice notes. Long, fleshy finish has some serious grip. Carmenère and Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2007 through 2012. 5,400 cases mad Score: 94. —James Molesworth, May 31, 2006.Wine Enthusiast Dense as a brick, with deep blackberry, prune, earth and chocolate aromas. Huge and multilayered, but already exhibiting perfect structure and integrated oak and spice flavors. Pure and exact; along with the 2001 this is Clos Apalta at its finest. Imported by Moët Hennessy USA. Score: 94. —Michael Schachner, May 01, 2006. |
