Clos Apalta - Wine Spectator	Clos Apalta	2016	94	May-2020
Review “Refined, with savory richness to the mineral-infused raspberry, red currant and herbal shadings. Creamy hints emerge midpalate, leading to a crisp, well-structured finish that lingers with slate and cast iron notes.”

Review “Minerally and well-structured, with bright acidity backing the concentrated cherry and raspberry flavors. Dried green herbal notes and peppery hints show on the fresh finish.”
Clos Apalta - Jamessuckling.com	Le Petit Clos de Clos Apalta	2017	96	Apr-2020
Review “This is so delicious with blackcurrants, spice, sweet tobacco, lavender and roses. Full-bodied, tight and very polished with gorgeous texture and finesse. Shows tannin tension at the end.”

Review “What a stunning nose of crushed berries, fresh flowers, sandalwood and light vineyard dust. Black olives, too. Very complex. Full-bodied with a beautiful, dense palate of blackberries, chocolate, walnuts and cigar box. Fantastic length and composure. The tannin just rolls over the palate. Very structured. The most classically structured wine ever from here. Goes on for minutes. Outrageous and so polished.”
Clos Apalta - Vinous	Clos Apalta	2016	93	Mar-2020
Review “A few mature wines still survive from the period that Michel Rolland spent in Chile, including Clos Apalta (a blend of 64% Carménère, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Merlot), demonstrating both the effectiveness and richness of the style. Taking an approach that suits the terroir of Apalta in Colchagua, this garnet-hued red offers ripe aromas of jam, camphor and bay leaf that guide the hints of blackberry and an elegant woodiness that encompasses notes of sandalwood and tobacco. A complex wine that reflects its oxidative aging process; after a while, black olives, musk and hazelnuts appear. It is rich on the palate with fine tannins and slightly intense woody aromas. A long, mature, open and flavorsome finish.”

Clos Apalta - Tim Atkin, MW	Clos Apalta	2016	95	Mar-2020
Review “This old-vine cuvée of mostly Carmenère with 19% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Merlot helped to make the name of the Apalta Valley. Produced from hillside vines and picked before the rain in 2016, this is racier, fresher and better balanced than some recent vintages, with floral aromas, plum and blackberry fruit, some green herb undertones and serious, layered tannins.” (Wine of the Year)
Clos Apalta - Tim Atkin, MW	Le Petit Clos de Clos Apalta	2016	92	Mar-2020
Review “‘A very Bordelais vintage’ is how Andrea León describes 2016, but this second wine is still at the riper end of the Chilean spectrum, with 14.7% alcohol, ripe fig and blackcurrant flavours, stylish oak and a full-bodied finish.”
