  PnP, and squarely in its drinking window. Notes of black currant, plum, and dark chocolate coalesce throughout, with the faintest hint of tannin still hanging on. Decadent, yet there's enough acidity to keep it feeling fresh. Delicious, and nearing its peak if not already there.

  PNP and drank over a few hours. In its drinking window and can't imagine this being any better.

  My bottle tasted blind. Still my best Clos Apalta so far. So much freshness and fruit similar to a really good St Em

  31122023 - Birthday lunch treat at Ming Heang. My 1st bottle tasted blind. Majority guessed this a Bordeaux left or right bank. Plum, cherry, cassis, delicious blue fruit, tobacco laced with nuances vanilla & white spice. Well integrated tannins with velvety mouthfeel. Great tensile strength & elongated finish with mixed notes if savory, minerals & fruit
