critic reviews
Deep ruby colour, confident unrolling of cocoa bean, intense liqourice root, espresso, smoked caramel, creamy blackberry fruits, black pepper and baking spice. This has lift and grip, full of life and welcome. 78% new oak for ageing, Andrea Léon technical director, organically farmed.
The 2022 Clos Apalta is 68% Carménère, 22% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot from Apalta. This aged primarily in French oak vats with 10% of the blend in 225-liter Bordeaux barrels. It opens with black fruit, a delicate ash note, underbrush, boldo and gentle spice over subtle oak. Blueberry, blackberry and sour cherry aromas complete the aromatic profile. On the palate, this is dry for the house style, with medium structure, refined grip and juicy flow. The finish is long and finely tuned. This vintage offers a more restrained version of Clos Apalta. It's less opulent than usual but with captivating nuance and poise. The 2022 is a terroir-driven response to a cooler year.
