James Suckling: 96 Points
A nice touch of baked cherries and dark chocolate to the deep blackberry fruit. Ink and a touch of graphite and dried herbs. Full-bodied and pretty powerful with fine-grained tannins and a long, extensive finish. 68% carmenere, 16% cabernet sauvignon,15% merlot and 1% cabernet franc. Give it two more years to let the fruit settle more. Drink or hold.

Embracing a Bordeaux-style approach, Le Petit Clos is the second wine of Clos Apaltal. The 2021 Le Petit Clos combines 68% Carmenere, 16% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, all sourced from the Apalta Vineyard in Colchagua. Displaying a purple hue in the glass, it exhibits a ripe character mellowed by fresh nature of the vintage. It offers plum and blackberry aromas along with the bay leaf, boldo and menthol hints over a ashy marmalade core. Indulgent, plushand rich on the palate, the soft and overwhelming mouthfeel lingers long with a precise, juicy and slightly refreshing personality. The 2021 vintage is indeed a standout for Clos Apalta.
