Verkostungsnotiz von James Suckling vom 17. April 2019:

What a stunning nose of crushed berries. fresh flowers. sandalwood and light vineyard dust. Black olives. too. Very complex. Full-bodied with a beautiful. dense palate of blackberries. chocolate. walnuts and cigar box. Fantastic length and composure. The tannin just rolls over the palate. Very structured. The most classically structured wine ever from here. Goes on for minutes. Outrageous and so polished. A blend of 48% carmenere. 26% cabernet sauvignon. 25% merlot and 1% petit verdot. Try after 2025.

Luis Gutierrez am 31.08.2020:

The 2017 Clos Apalta is the 20th vintage of this wine that was produced with a blend of 48% Carmenere. 26% Cabernet Sauvignon. 25% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot from organic and biodynamic certified vineyards on granite soils. It fermented with indigenous yeasts for four to five weeks. with manual punch-down of the cap. mostly in 7.500-liter French oak vats and 18% in new French barrique. Malolactic was in new French oak barrels. and the élevage lasted for 27 months in 85% new barrels and 15% second use. This is always a powerful. big and ripe wine that is regularly 15% alcohol. reflecting a warm and ripe place. The 2017 is no exception. perhaps a riper and more powerful wine than the 2016. It's still very young and marked by the élevage. with abundant balsamic aromas and notes from the wood—spice and smoke with an ashy touch. It seems quite marked by the character of the Carmenere. The tannins are quite round and polished. and the flavors are pungent and powerful. It's a full-bodied wine to age in in bottle and enjoy in its 10th birthday with powerful food. 90.000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2019.

Andrea León takes over the technical management of Clos Apalta as of June 2020. so I expect some changes in the wines in future vintages. They have a total of 160 hectares planted in Apalta. but their wines come from a selection of the best plots. 48 hectares. of which 16 are very old. dry-farmed and ungrafted vines planted between 1915 and 1940. The average production is 100.000 bottles. The wines are sold through the Bordeaux négociants.

The wines released in September 2020 are from the 2017 vintage. the driest year in Apalta in the last 15 years. The drought was complicated by some of the highest temperatures ever. These extreme conditions favored the development of wild fires that burned an incredible 600.000 hectares of forest and shrubbery. Many vineyards were tainted by smoke. but not the ones from Apalta. It was a warm vintage of high ripeness and healthy grapes.

Clos Apalta 2017 ist der treue Ausdruck seiner Herkunft. Durch seine dunklen Granat- Tönen wird die Farbintensität der Carménères und ihre Noten reifer Früchte ausgedrückt. In der Nase enthüllt der Wein eine aromatische Fülle - Johannisbeere. Himbeere. Walderdbeere - die die schöne Komplexität der Rebsorten Merlot. Cabernet Sauvignon und Carménère offenbart. Der Auftakt am Gaumen bringt rote Früchte und weiche. seidige Tannine hervor. die jedoch mit Noten von schwarzer Olive. schwarzer Johannisbeere und Lakritze ergänzt werden. Der Abgang mit feinen Tanninen ist unglaublich lang und spannend und bringt die volle Eleganz des Terroirs von Clos Apalta zum Ausdruck.

Clos Apalta - Das Weingut

Beschreibung zum Weingut Clos Apalta

Das Weingut liegt 170 Kilometer südwestlich von Santiago im Colchagua-Tal. Der Weinberg liegt in Nord-Süd-Ausrichtung. was in Chile eher selten vorkommt. Der Fluss Tinguiririca liegt auf einer Seite und die Hügel der Küstenkordilleren umgeben den Weinberg wie ein Hufeisen auf der anderen Seite. Beide Faktoren sind somit maßgeblich an der Bildung dieses einzigartigen Terroirs beteiligt. Diese Geographie ist verantwortlich für die Bedingungen. die ein Gleichgewicht für die Reben und eine langsame Reifung der Trauben gewährleisten. Bei Sonnenaufgang und Sonnenuntergang blockieren die Kordilleren die Sonnenstrahlen. wodurch die Reben keinem intensiven Sonnenschein ausgesetzt sind und der Fluss einen kühlenden Einfluss auf das Klima hat. Der Boden ist sehr vielfältig. der Clos Apalta stammt aus kolluvialen Granitböden. die leicht mit Tonschichten durchsetzt sind.

Verkostungsnotiz von James Suckling vom 19. Februar 2020:

This is so delicious with blackcurrants. spice. sweet tobacco. lavender and roses. Full-bodied. tight and very polished with gorgeous texture and finesse. Shows tannin tension at the end. A blend of mostly cabernet sauvignon. the rest cabernet franc. Better after 2022.

The second wine. in the Bordeaux sense. the 2017 Le Petit Clos has a different blend from the grand vin. in this case 68% Cabernet Sauvignon. 16% Carmenere. 9% Cabernet Franc. 5% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot and is quite different every year. It fermented in 7.500-liter oak vats with indigenous yeasts and a four- to five-week maceration followed by malolactic in new barriques. It matured in new French barriques for six months and spent the next 16 months in first. second and third use French oak barrels. I found a lot less influence from the oak here than in the "grand vin" and a more classical profile with dominance of the Cabernet Sauvignon—ripe without excess. powerful and concentrated but with very good balance. It's quite approachable even when it feels quite youthful; the tannins are round. and the wine is neat and velvety with some creaminess. It has an elegant profile within the powerful character of the vintage. It surpassed my expectations. and I find it every bit as good as the 2016. 72.000 bottles produced. It was bottled in October 2019. This has only been produced since 2014.

Le Petit Clos 2020 Zweitwein Clos Apalta

Verkostungsnotiz von James Suckling vom 05. April 2019:

A beautiful delivery of Petit Clos with spiced black cherries, cassis, olives and some red capsicums to the nose. Chalky tannins are densely packed on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Tight, structured and fine-grained. Very long. Drink or hold.

Luis Gutierrez am 31.08.2023

The second wine from Clos Apalta, the 2020 Le Petit Clos, was produced with the grapes from younger vines and in a different proportion than in the grand vins; it's a blend of 40% Carmenere, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot from their granite soils in the warm Apalta valley from a warm and ripe year. The wine has the lush and ripe signature, with 15% alcohol, decadent and showy, with a nose of violets and camphor, ripe berries, herbs and spices and integrated oak. It fermented with indigenous yeasts, with five to six weeks of maceration, manual punch-downs and malolactic in French oak barrels. The élevage was 26 months in 53% new oak and 47% second use oak. It has the velvety tannins from a warm vintage—fine-grained and abundant—with a long finish with a bitter twist.77,580 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2022.

Clos Apalta 2020 Valle de Apalta

Den Clos Apalta 2020 Valle de Apalta beschreibt William Kelley wie folgt:
The grand vin 2020 Clos Apalta was produced with a blend of 64% Carmenere, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot from a ripe and warm year. It's ripe, concentrated, dense and powerful, reflecting the house style and the conditions of the year, with more influence from the élevage than in the second wine, Le Petit Clos. It fermented with indigenous yeasts for five to six weeks, with manual punch-down of the cap in 7,500-liter French oak vats, followed by malolactic in new French oak barrels. The élevage was 27 months in 85% new barrels and 15% second use barrels. It has a creamy, smoky and spicy personality, with notes of sweet spices, such as cinnamon and vanilla and ripe blackberries, and it is quite forward, ripe and showy, with generous oak and 15% alcohol. It's lush with abundant, fine-grained tannins and a persistent finish. Give it a little more time in bottle, and enjoy with powerful food. 116,700 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2022.

Den Clos Apalta 2020 Valle de Apalta beschreibt James Suckling wie folgt:
A really refined, expressive and layered Clos Apalta with fine olives, incense, cigar box, cocoa powder, Spanish chocolate, pencil shavings, graphite and fine spices. Juicy, bright and full-bodied palate with a fine saline, savory twist. Very long and juicy. 64% carmenere, 19% cabernet sauvignon, 15% merlot and 2% petit verdot. Real finesse from 2020. Drink from 2024.

97 Punkte

A great effort in the hot and dry 2020, COVID-19 vintage with the earliest harvest ever. The grand vin shows power, richness and tons of fruit but retains a sense of charisma and direction that is so compelling. Bright, forward, sleek and silky, tannins enrobe the palate creating a cushion for the ripe blackcurrants and blueberries, bright acidity and underlying spice to meld together. A large percentage of Carmenere at 64% gives the fragrance and backbone while 19% Cabernet Sauvignon adds texture and depth, 13% Merlot bringing freshness and acidity and 2% Petit Verdot adding spice, colour and richness. Only just beginning to really express itself with liquorice, eucalyptus, figs, plums and a salty-wet stone minerality that comes in on the finish. Despite the intensity, this is layered and well sculpted with tons of pleasure to be had with a few more years ageing. Ageing 27 months in 225L French oak barrels, 85% new, 15% two years old. 3.7pH. Winemaker and viticulturist Andrea Leon kept more leaf coverage, a thicker and higher trellis and natural cover crops during the vintage to moderate the high temperatures. Bottles for this, and the second wine, are now made in Chile as of this vintage and have reduced in weight by 10% in a bid to increase sustainability. Clos Apalta now also featuring its name embossed in the glass at the bottom of the bottle.

L'Aventure Optimus Estate 2018 Paso Robles

Erin Brooks im Februar 2020:

A barrel sample blended of 53% Syrah. 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Optimus is deep ruby-purple in color and scented of crème de cassis, baked blackberries, chocolate mint, wet clay. crushed blueberries and faint notions of lilac with an undercurrent of exotic spices. The palate is medium to full-bodied with lovely layering of spiced black and blue fruits, a detailed, finely pixelated frame and great freshness, finishing with loads of ripe fruit. I can’t wait to taste this from bottle!

"The 2018 Optimus marks the 20th vintage of our signature “crazy” blend. Back in 1998, when we started this journey in Paso Robles. Stephan had a vision or in his own words a “fantasy” of the blend he wanted to make. The blend was inspired in part from drinking Syrah/Cabernet blends and in other part from realizing that Petit Verdot was unbelievable in California and always ripe due to the optimal weather conditions. In 1998, with a half-built winery, purchased fruit from Paso Robles, and an idea in mind, the first vintage Optimus was made. This special blend is the reason why Stephan wanted to leave France and move somewhere where he had the freedom to make any type of blends. Today. the Optimus serves as the introduction to our lineup. Approachable and pleasurable, the Optimus makes you want to know more…

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of this spectacular wine, we have created a special anniversary label. The 2018 Optimus features a reverse label. with a navy background and our L’Aventure logo embossed in a silver/gold foil. We will be using the same label throughout the years as our other wines reach their 20th anniversary."

K Vintners King Coal 2018

James Suckling bewertet den King Coal 2018 im Juli 2021 wie folgt:

Aromas of currants, mint and cedar with flowers and spices. Full-bodied with firm, polished tannins that have a beautiful silky texture that caresses the palate. Hazelnut and chocolate undertones. 75% cabernet sauvignon and 25% syrah. Drink in 2023.

98 Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den K Vintners King Coal 2018

Jeb Dunnuck bewertet den King Coal 2018 im Juli 2021 wie folgt:

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon / Syrah King Coal Stoneridge Vineyard is another beautifully layered, complex wine from the team at K Vintners, based on 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Syrah. It offers lots of classic Cabernet tobacco, cedary herbs, and graphite notes, with the Syrah offering a more plush, sexy, seamless style to the wine. Loaded with red and black fruits, toasted spice, and chocolate, full-bodied, concentrated, yet seamless and incredibly pure, this gorgeously layered blend has enough tannins to warrant short-term cellaring yet is going to evolve gracefully for 15-20 years in cold cellars. It's a gorgeous wine.

Blogbeiträge zum Quintessa 2018

Lisa Perrotti Brown Oktober 2021:

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Quintessa (Cabernet Sauvignon) sashays out with crème de cassis, blackberry preserves and redcurrant jelly scents, plus wafts of dark chocolate, anise and lavender with a touch of tobacco. Medium to full-bodied, elegantly styled and stunningly energetic, it has a fine-grained texture and long, fragrant finish.

James Suckling beschreibt den Quintessa 2018 am 2. August 2021:

This is beautifully polished with firm, dusty tannins to the blue fruit, as well as chocolate and cedar character. Some much earthier character, too, from mushrooms to bark. Forest flowers. Perfumed. It’s full-bodied with round tannins and a soft, creamy finish. Some iron and iodine to this. So attractive at the finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Better after 2023.

Anmerkungen zum Jahrgang:
Nach fünf warmen Jahren war die Vegetationsperiode 2018 gleichmäßig und ausgeglichen, wobei der Austrieb zwei Wochen später als im Vorjahr begann. Das gemäßigte Wetter gab den Takt vor, um ein gesundes Blätterdach und einen Weinberg zu schaffen, der mit milden Bedingungen, einem Mangel an Extremen und einer Fülle an hochwertigen Früchten gesegnet war. Die Harmonie der Saison 2018 ermöglichte ein tieferes Verständnis dafür, wie die biodynamischen Anbaumethoden weiterentwickeln können, um die Reben auf den vielfältigen Böden von Quintessa zu unterstützen. Die milden Witterungsbedingungen hielten während der gesamten Ernte an und brachten Trauben von perfekter Reife und Säure hervor, die Zeit für die Entwicklung von Phenolen und Aromen hatten, ohne dass der Druck eines steigenden Brix-Wertes bestand. Es folgte eine lange und fast gemächliche Ernte, mit Zeit für präzise Entscheidungen, die sich in der Reinheit und Raffinesse des Quintessa 2018 zeigen.

Verkostungsnotizen der Weinmacherin Rebekah Wineburg:
“The precision of the vintage, a result of the cooler weather, long harvest, and continued study of the property, is evident in the movement and texture of the wine. Already showing the hallmarks of a great age-worthy vintage, the 2018 Quintessa is both pleasurable to drink now and will continue to age with grace as it develops more savory notes and length to the finish over the next 20 years.”

Der Quintessa 2018 ist ein Wein von perfekter Harmonie, mit tiefen Aromen und eleganten Schichten, die schon in jungen Jahren erkennbar sind. Intensive Aromen von Cassis, Schwarzkirsche und Himbeere vermischen sich mit würzigen Noten von Salbei und Thymian; der 2018er Quintessa entfaltet sich weiter mit Noten von dunkler Schokolade, Graphit und frischem Tabak, die sich mit der frischen Frucht vermischen.Präzise und dicht, zeigt der Wein geschmeidige Tannine, die mit Aromen von Schwarzkirsche, dunkler Schokolade und zerkleinertem Gestein spielen. Der Quintessa 2018 hat eine perfekte Balance von frischer Säure, gefolgt von leuchtender Frucht und Mineralität im Abgang, die ein unvergleichliches Alterungspotenzial erwarten lässt.
