One 3L bottle of Casa Lapostolle Clos Apalta 2001, Carmenere/Merlot/Cabernet blend.

This is a rarely seen Double Magnum of the now famous 2001 vintage Clos Apalta from Casa Lapostolle which was awarded 2nd place in Wine Spectators top 100 list. This achievement forever sealed Clos Apalta's status as a world benchmark and put to bed any question as to the ability to create world class wines in Chile. The historical importance of this bottling combined with the format would make it a cornerstone of any collection.

95 Points- Wine Spectator Review: "...Stunning purity here, with concentrated plum, boysenberry and raspberry fruit that just glides across the palate, buttressed by superfine yet muscular tannins... ...alluring chocolate and black tea hints chime in..."

90 Points- Robert Parker Review: "The Clos Apalta luxury cuvee, primarily based on an old vine, non-irrigated Carmenere parcel, remains one of Chile's standard-bearers. The medium to full-bodied 2001 Clos Apalta explodes from the glass with powerful scents of black raspberries, cassis liqueur, and hints of mocha. An elegant yet immensely ripe wine, it offers spicy black cherry flavors in its bright, high-toned, and tannin-laced character. Projected maturity: 2007-2012."
