Chalky tannins are densely packed on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Tight, structured and fine-grained. Very long.\u003cbr\u003e\n93Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clos Apalta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44810719887584,"sku":"121538","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/lapostolle-clos-apalta-le-petit-clos_1_cf0b24f7-f343-45b7-b7c5-984a7d00d525.jpg?v=1708371559","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/clos-apalta-le-petit-clos-2020-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
