Community Tasting Note

Stephan O Likes this wine:

Monday, April 26, 2021 - I'm starting to lose objectivity on Clos Apalta. I haven't had one that I didn't enjoy on a gut level. This one's more "rural" than the others I've tried. Inky black fruit is a constant, but I also get coffee, corn, mustard (?), and fresh dirt on the nose. The palate is slick, tart, and shedding tannins, and it shows more black fruit and some chocolate. The mid-length finish seems to bring the coffee back. It's ready to drink now, but I can see it holding steady for another eight or ten years. (The outer window of 2026 seems too early.)
