Heiner Lobenberg om:
Le Petit Clos de Clos Apalta 2020

95
/100

Indtil 2018-årgangen var Petit Clos, lillebror til Clos Apalta, baseret på Cabernet Sauvignon. Siden da er blandingen blevet bragt tættere på Clos Apaltas, og vinen består nu også hovedsageligt af Carmenere. De to vine lagres endda på nøjagtig samme måde i de første seks måneder. Derefter lagres de i to år i en blanding af brugt og nyt træ - 100 procent nyt træ for Clos Apaltas vedkommende. Dyb, lys rubinrød farve. Ekstremt velduftende næse med saftig hvid fersken og jasminblomst. Dybe, men delikate smagsnuancer af blommer og mørk kirsebærfrugt tilføjes. Sammenlignet med den lige så salte 2019 er 2020 en elegant danser med en delikat antydning af krydret røg. Den vilde spænding i munden rammer tungen med et brag efter denne hyggelige runde næse. Hold da op! Næsten saltholdig, lineær mineralitet og friskhed på trods af, at årgangen er en af de varmeste, der er registreret. Surkirsebær, tranebær og granatæble, endda lidt hyben. Tanninerne er ekstremt finpudsede og integrerede. Denne vin er en yndefuld personlighed. Strålende! Desuden har vinen utvivlsomt et langt liv foran sig. En anden vin i en klasse for sig selv! 95/100

Suckling om: Le Petit Clos de Clos Apalta

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. 95/100

Galloni om: Le Petit Clos de Clos Apalta

The 2020 Blend Le Petit Clos is a mix of mostly Carménère and Cabernet Sauvignon from Apalta, Colchagua. Dark garnet red in hue. The complex nose offers plum jam, hints of sweet spice, herbs and pepper against a backdrop of cigar box, graphite and a whiff of violets. A ripe, broad, full-bodied red with precise acidity and a juicy, grippy flow, the finish is intense and complex. The 2020 vintage is notably lean compared to other vintages. 94/100

Colin Hay om: Le Petit Clos de Clos Apalta

The second wine of Clos Apalta. Aromatically very open, with a heady mix of incense, olive tapenade, exotic sweet spices and dark berry and stone fruit, but also a little mimosa. The tannins are soft and plush, the mid-palate richly filled and this is impressively well-sustained on the finish. It’s tempting to pull the cork on this right now, but this is also very age-worthy and will benefit from a period of 2-3 years in the cellar. 93+/100

Parker om: Le Petit Clos de Clos Apalta

The second wine from Clos Apalta, the 2019 Le Petit Clos, was produced with a blend of 49% Carmenere, 30% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot from granite soils. It fermented with indigenous yeasts with four to five weeks of maceration with manual punch-downs and malolactic in French oak barrels. The élevage was eight months in new barrels and a further 14 months in 50% new oak and 50% second-use oak. It's a ripe and powerful red with 14.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.6. It has a nose of herbs and spices, and it's creamy and lush, with a juicy texture and a full body with an herbal finish. It has mellow acidity and a soft mouthfeel through round and fine tannins. 41,988 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2021. 93/100

Decanter om: Le Petit Clos de Clos Apalta

Bright, brooding and intense on the nose; dark, heady and ripe black fruits with spiced edges and a subtle florality. Smooth and succulent but punchy on the palate, tannins are silky and well integrated and do well to underpin the fruitiness and liveliness of the expression. As usual Carmenere is the star with 40% of the blend alongside 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. Youthful and exuberant, the team kept leaves on the vines and natural cover crops to cope with the sunlight, heat and lack of water in 2020, and despite the 15% alcohol this has 3.59pH with acidity that lifts the palate and avoids any heaviness. Rich but sleek, this is full of red cherries, cedar spice, soft herbal touches and finishes with a menthol freshness that is lovely. Will improve with age but great for mid-term drinking to enjoy the fresh vibrancy. Ageing 26 months in 225l French oak barrels, 53% new, 42% two years old. From this vintage, the bottles are now made in Chile and are 10% lighter in a bid to increase sustainability. 93/100
