Clos Apalta Le Petit Clos 2021 Review
There’s a lot of Chilean wine on the market, but few have achieved this kind of elegance, focus, and powerful balance. This blend of Carménère, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc has layers of cracked peppercorn, brambles, and the slightest hint of oak on the nose. The palate has wonderful structure with prominent yet well integrated tannins and medium weight.
