title: Lapostolle 2009 Clos Apalta Red (Colchagua Valley)
description: Typically intense, polished and smooth up front, this has concentrated aromas of graphite, cola, wild berry, spice, coconut and wood. It feels full and makes a statement on the palate, where baked, earthy, fully loaded flavors of clove, herb and black fruit hold court. Oaky and spicy on the finish, this needs another 2–4 years to fully settle.
variety: Red Blend
designation: Clos Apalta
