Sunday, December 26, 2010 - 2005 Casa Lapostolle Clos Apalta (WS96/WA91) 15%. Michel Rolland consults; mostly carmenere-based Bdx blend. This was WS 2008 WOTY! Surprisingly tight at first (no decanting); improved with time to show pronounced cranberry/currant flavors, some earth/minerality. Revisited 2 days later on Xmas afternoon, finished prior to the (very late) meal, but much more enjoyable. Really a baby still, it needs plenty of air time at this point to show it's stuff. Good, not great; one remaining. RF95.
