Tasting Notes

Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 03 Mar 24
A library release from the estate at its 10 year window. The 100% new oak remains present and smoky even at the decade mark (today they have brought that down to around 75% new) but it softens to show beautiful creamy damson fruit with pencil lead and liqourice, plenty of density through the mid palate to keep momentum, and this easily has another decade ahead of it . A relatievely cool vintage but there is still a flash of heat on finish. The label says 'Vinothèque, this bottle was released from the cellar of Clos Apalta in 2022'. 100% new oak ageing, unfiltered and unfined.

Chile

Chile’s diverse geography – desert north, mountain spine, and coastal valleys – makes it a winemaker’s playground. From spicy Carménère to crisp Sauvignon Blanc, there’s a wealth of choice here. Newer regions like Limarí and Itata bring freshness and nuance, while Maipo and Colchagua deliver bold reds with classic poise. Chile continues to overdeliver, offering wines of quality and personality across the board.
