Seductive #Wineporn 2001 Casa Lapostolle 'Clos Apalta' #ChileanWine. Blend of #Cabernet #Merlot #Carmenere. Even at 14 yrs, still a monster. Ripe black cherry, plum and fig dance around with baking spices, coffee and pepper. Long and lush texture that keeps going like an energizer bunny. #wine #sommelier #sommlife

C'est certainement le vin le plus élaboré du Chili, la finesse, et la puissance sont en parfaite harmonie.

Nice wine...still in its prime! Great drinking with steak. Seemed more like a Napa cab than a South American wine. Can't wait to drink my 2005 vintage!!!
