Valle de Apalta Red Blend 2020

Wow. Power bomb. So much spice. Still a baby but so integrated already. Makes me wonder whether this has the structure to age — 4 days ago

Clos Apalta Limited Release Carménère Blend 1997

Medium ruby , quite wide ruby / garnet rim , but very little bricking . Very young looking . Quite deep on the nose with dusty spiced cassis and dark fruits and coffee , slightly toasty , leather. On the palate quite dark fruits , cassis , spiced plum , roasted peppers , with those coffee notes. Quite sweet on the mid palate with ripe but still noticeable tannin, good balanced and acidity and balanced alcohol . Pretty decent length with a leather , coffee tinged finish . Still drinking very well , and will do over the next 5-8 years . — 2 months ago

These are great, my 90's bottles are long gone, wish I still had, only 2001 forward now.

Aconcagua Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2009

I was skeptical thinking because it was from Chile that it would be a dud. I was pleasantly surprised and think it can hold its own against some classified growths. Perfumed depth balance light bodied and a fairly long finish. — 3 days ago

Don Melchor Puente Alto Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Great vintage for this wine. Could have seen more years in bottle easily but desirable nonetheless. High altitude cab blend with lots fruit, oak, and light spice notes. Cheers. — 2 months ago
