Casa Lapostolle Clos Apalta 2003

Apalta Valley, Santa Cruz, Valle del Colchagua, Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileApalta is a Colchagua superstar with its sophisticated spicy, chocolate, peppery, orange rind aromas laced with cherry, cardamom, mint, vanilla and saddle leather. Rich, ripe, round and elegant with supple but grainy, dry tannins this is intense wine. Chocolate, peppery, orange rind, black cherry, cardamom, menthol, coffee, licorice flavours draw you into the glass. Young and warm on the finish but again with fine intensity, persistence and finesse. This will definitely improve with 3-7 years of bottle aging.Tasted: 10 December 2006Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
