Lapostolle 2014 Cuvée Alexandre Viñedo Apalta Carmenère (Colchagua Valley)

Country: Chile / Cuvée Alexandre Viñedo Apalta
Variety: Carmenère Colchagua Valley
Winery: Lapostolle /

Dark in appearance, with reduced, grapy, inky aromas, this compact Carmenère nearly collapses under its own weight. Heavily toasted blackberry flavors finish stout, with blackened spice notes. If there’s a knock on this blockbuster, it’s that it lacks layering and elegance.
