CLOS APALTA 'Clos Apalta' 2012


2015 TOP 100 WINES | Rank #7


The 2012 Clos Apalta is an absolutely outstanding wine composed from 66% Carmenére, 19% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. It immediately opens with seductive aromas of black cherries, blackberries and sweet cassis woven together with violets, leather, spices, graphite and cocoa powder. On the palate this possesses a full body with an outstanding structure, balance and wonderful overall depth and concentration. Ripe dark fruits, spices and cocoa continue to cascade onto the long, supple finish. This is a truly sensational wine from the Marnier Family that will only continue to get better as it evolves gracefully over time. (Best 2016-2030) - November, 2015 (JD)
