Ulysses 2013 mit 98 Punkten bei James Suckling ausgezeichnetJames Suckling beschreibt den Ulysses 2013 Napa Valley am 16.01.2016 wie folgt:

Fabulous subtle aromas of black currants, violets and lilacs with a hot stone undertone. Full-bodied and dense, it shows such wonderful energy and synergy that delivers a firm yet gentle tannin backbone and complex mouthfeel that seduces you. Evolves wonderfully. Second wine from this new estate, which is owned by Christian Moueix of Dominus and Bordeaux. Release is March 2017

 
Ulysses 2013 Napa Valley by Christian Moueix 96 Punkte ParkerRobert Parker beschreibt den Ulysses im Dezember 2015 wie folgt:

The 2013 Ulysses is absolutely mind-boggling, as so many wines from this vintage are. Gorgeous blueberry and blackberry fruit, along with the telltale cassis and floral notes, jump from the glass. Again, this is Pauillac-like, with some cedar wood and subtle barrique smells. Again produced nearly all from Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine is full-bodied, powerful. rich and long, with slightly sweeter tannins than the 2012. Production in 2013 was 960 cases and Moueix told me that the entire growing season averaged about two and half weeks ahead of schedule from bloom break to harvest. This is a prodigious effort and will certainly stand as the great Ulysses of the first trio to be released. I suspect it will be drinkable in 3-4 years and keep for 30 or more given the Moueix track record.

Ulysses 2014 mit 98 Punkten bei James Suckling ausgezeichnetJames Suckling beschreibt den Ulysses 2014 Napa Valley am 27.01.2017 wie folgt:

The evolution of this wine has been phenomenal since I tasted it in barrel a year ago with the same black cherry, plum and citrus character but it's turn to orange leaf, dark Chinese tea, and mushroom. Full body, fine and velvety tannins with a touch of dust to the texture. So much chocolate and fruit undertones with forest floor and hints of tobacco. The mouth feel and complexity are seductive. Better to drink in 2022 but a joy to taste. Spring 2018 release.

95 Parker Punkte für den Ulysses 2015 Napa ValleyLisa Parrotti Brown beschreibt den Ulysses wie folgt:

Possessing mere splashes of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon has a beautifully expressive crème de cassis nose with underlying black cherries, chocolate box, star anise and violets plus touches of pencil shavings and beef drippings. Medium to full-bodied, it delivers a quiet intensity of black fruits and restrained earthy layers supported by chewy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long with mineral and savory nuances. It has lovely elegance and depth. It needs another 2-3 years in bottle, then it should cellar gracefully over the next 20+ years. 1,000 cases were made.

 
96 Punkte bei Vinous für den 2015er Ulysses Napa Valley Antonio Galloni beschreibt den Ulysses wie folgt:

The 2015 Ulysses brings together the richness of the year with a good bit of underlying support. Dark and powerful in the glass, but with silky tannins and striking purity of fruit, the 2015 is a wonderfully complete wine. Black cherry, plum, gravel, lavender and menthol give the 2015 many of its aromatic and flavor signatures. Readers will find much to admire in the 2015. The interplay of aromatics, fruit and structure places Ulysses among the finest wines of the vintage.

 
96 Punkte bei James Suckling für den 2015er Ulysses Napa ValleyJames Suckling beschreibt den Ulysses 2015 wie folgt:

Aromas of dark fruit, such as blackberries and black olives, as well as black tea and tanned leather. Raspberries and lemon spices, too. Full-bodied, very tight and polished with beautiful tannins and a weave of fruit and acidity to beautifully buttress the whole wine. Balanced and bright for the vintage. Drink in 2020 and onwards.

Harmonious. Enticing. Fascinating and thoughtful. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and petit verdot. Drink or hold.

 
95+ Parker Punkte für den Ulysses 2016 Napa ValleyLisa Parrotti Brown beschreibt den Ulysses 2016 wie folgt:

Very deep purple-black in color, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon leaps from the glass with exuberant notes of cassis, black cherries and blackberries with touches of bay leaves, lavender, rose hip tea and pencil shavings plus a waft of spice box developing with time. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a well-sustained mid-palate of youthful black fruit, a rock-solid structure of firm, grainy tannins and fantastic freshness lifting the perfumed fruit to a long, lively finish.

 
98+ Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Ulysses 2016 Napa ValleyAntonio Galloni beschreibt den Ulysses 2016 wie folgt:

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is fabulous. Bright, powerful and pulsing with energy, the 2016 possesses stunning textural depth allied to a real sense of drive. Black cherry, tobacco, menthol, sage and licorice give this Cabernet from southern Oakville much of its distinctive personality. In this tasting, the 2016 Ulysses simply towers with pedigree and character. I loved it. Although the track record is short. the 2016 is the finest wine Christian Moueix and Tod Mostero have made at Ulysses.

98 Sucklingpunkte für den Ulysses 2018 Napa Valley by Christian MoueixJames Suckling beschreibt den Ulysses 2018 im Mai 2021 wie folgt:

Aromas of terra cotta, chocolate and hazelnut with iron and ink. Dusty. Full-bodied and round. Layered. Flamboyant and juicy. Rather soft and gorgeous. Some walnut and chocolate at the end. Persistent. Always there. Drinkable now, but will age wonderfully.


 

96 Punkte vom Wine Advocate für den Ulysses 2018 Napa Valley by Christian MoueixJoe Czerwinski beschreibt den Ulysses 2018 im Mai 2022 wie folgt:

The current-release 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon shows more cherries and bay leaf on the nose than prior vintages. There's still a solid framework of cedar, loam and cassis, hints of mocha and licorice, but there's also a bit more freshness and lift. It's medium to full-bodied and densely concentrated yet silky and finessed, with a long, elegant finish.


 

99 Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den Ulysses 2018 Napa Valley by Christian MoueixJeb Dunnuck im Februar 2023:

Just about pure perfection and the finest wine I've tasted from this address, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon yet includes smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, all from a site just north of Dominus. This deep, inky hued beauty offers up a beautiful, full-bodied, richly textured, and incredibly concentrated style that carries ample black and blue fruit as well as notes of crushed stone, scorched earth, graphite, and lead pencil. It has the focused, structured style of the 2018 vintage and is going to benefit from 4-6 years (if not a decade) of bottle age and will be a 30+ year wine.

Der Clos Apalta ist längst eines der Aushängeschilder für den chilenischen Weinbau. In enger Zusammenarbeit mit Michel Roland hat das Haus Lapostolle hier ein wahres Prachtstück an Wein in die Weinwelt gebracht. Und mit dem Jahrgang 2017 krönen sie sich zu Recht selbst: 100 Punkte vergibt James Suckling für dieses Ausnahme-Erzeugnis!

Zum Jubiläum erscheint er in einer ganz besonderen Aufmachung. 
Wir bieten den Clos Apalta 2017 Valle de Apalta *20 Jahre Jubiläums-Edition* als Vorverkaufs-Artikel an.

 
100 Punkte James Suckling für den Clos Apalta 2017 Valle de ApaltaVerkostungsnotiz 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.

 
95 Puntke vom Wine Advocate für denLuis 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.
