Reviews of 2002 Casa Lapostolle Clos Apalta Proprietary Blend
92 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
June 2005
The Clos Apalta luxury cuvee, primarily based on an old vine, non-irrigated Carmenere parcel, remains one of Chile’s standard-bearers. Displaying aromas of sweet, spicy cassis, the 2002 Clos Apalta is a concentrated, medium to full-bodied wine with intense black cherry, black currant liqueur, spice, and pepper flavors. This serious, focused, well-structured effort is jam-packed with fruit, and reveals a lengthy, tannin-studded finish. It should be drunk over the next 7-8 years.

Beautiful color, with vivid boysenberry and blackberry fruit flavors that easily handle the layers of vanilla-tinged toast. Roasted herb, brier and black currant notes run through the finish, which shows the firm edge of the vintage, but a superb effort nonetheless. Carmenère, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2009. 3,150 cases made. (JM)

About the Wine
"Apalta vineyards, Colchagua Valley...deep and intesne red purple color. 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 tannis give the Clos Apalta a well-structures character, highlighting the fine smooth texture of the fruit. The end palate is long, with velvety, silky highlights predominating on the finish."
