World Class

I opened a bottle of the 2001 to share with my brother-in-law, I decanted 30 minutes before serving and the wine lived up to our expectations. It was full bodied with a nose that excited the senses. Chilean wines have reached world class with this wine.

I would rate this a 4.5. I had the 2001 which I should have decanded for about an hour. It opened up nicely in the glass. The mouthfeel went from velvety to chunks of fruit. It gained complexity and power as it aired. I would rate the initial opening a 4 and by the end a 4.75. It was a very unique, fruity, classy wine.
Disappointed with the 2004

Casa Lapostolle's "Clos Apalta" is one of those wines I try every year because of its consistent quality-to-price ratio. But the 2004 was disappointing, not as round as the 2003 and certainly not as good as the 2000. I don't agree with Wine Spectator's 93 rating for this vintage.
