A biodynamic, Carménère-led red blend from Chile's Apalta Valley, bottled at 15% ABV in a 750ml format.
Casa Lapostolle was founded in 1994 by the Marnier-Lapostolle family. The 2018 vintage blends 64% Carménère, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Merlot from biodynamically farmed vineyards, aged for 24 months in 85% new French oak barrels before bottling in October 2020. Just 92,748 bottles were produced.
The nose shows dark, inky intensity with prune, blueberries and blackberries, then dried flowers, sweet tobacco and cigar box, with graphite, rosemary, green peppercorns and smoke. The palate is full-bodied and lush, with chocolate-covered cherries, licorice and baking spices, then tart cherry, cedar, coffee and rhubarb, plus a granite-laced mineral thread. The finish is long and powerful, with black peppercorns, tea leaves, tobacco and velvety tannins.
