Wine in Black

Ein Traum von einem Apalta, genauso großzügig und hochwertig wie seine Vorgänger und mit seiner Kombination aus Power, Samt, Frucht und Länge zugleich etwas ganz Besonderes. Wir feiern diesen Chilenen!

James Suckling

A generous array of ripe black and blue fruit with pink peppercorns, green olives, dried flowers, toffee and chocolate orange. It’s full-bodied with firm, creamy and velvety tannins. Long and polished. Lovely salted caramel and olives at the end. Keeps going. Unfolds on the finish. 70% carmenere, 18% merlot, 8% cabernet sauvignon and 4% petit verdot.

Robert Parker

The 2019 Clos Apalta was produced with a blend of 70% Carmenere, 18% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot, extremely high in Carmenere and low in Cabernet Sauvignon in a ripe and warm year. It fermented with indigenous yeasts for four to five weeks, with manual punch-down of the cap, 67% in 7,500-liter French oak vats and 33% in new French oak barrels followed by malolactic in new French oak barrels. The élevage was 24 months in 90% new barrels and 10% second use. It's powerful, big and ripe, with 15% alcohol and a pH of 3.57. It's creamy and juicy, with very high ripeness and a notable absence of herbal notes; it's oaky, smoky and decadent, coming through as luxurious, round, lush and velvety. It's full-bodied and has abundant, small and powdery tannins.

Zweifellos ein außergewöhnlicher Wein: Die sorgfältige Vinifikation auf dem Strohlager verleiht ihm eine bemerkenswerte Konzentration und Tiefe. Die perfekte Balance zwischen Süße und Säure zeugt von meisterhaftem Handwerk. Dieser Wein ist ein wunderbares Beispiel für das Können von Michel Chapoutier und zeigt eindrucksvoll, warum er als einer der besten Winzer in der Region gilt.

Wine Spectator

This gives all the caramel, dried apricot, date, marzipan and lemon crème flavors you expect from a great German TBA, along with a burnished leather, mineral and matchstick underpinning that sets it apart. An amazing wine.

Die sorgfältige Vinifikation und die langjährige Reifung in Holz und Beton haben zu einem Wein geführt, der die Essenz der Sangiovese-Traube und das einzigartige Terroir von Montalcino einfängt. Die rubinrote Farbe und die fruchtigen Noten verleihen ihm eine verlockende Präsenz, während die Struktur und die mineralische Komponente seine Tiefe und Vielschichtigkeit hervorheben.

Robert Parker

A special 3,200-bottle release culled from a selection of Sangiovese from their Pian Bossolino and Poggio al Sole plots, the La Fiorita 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Fiore di No is a very convincing wine that offers much more depth and complexity than the estate's classic Brunello. The wine opens to dark fruit, spice and camphor ash and then shows a very complete, wide-brush-stroke approach to the grape. You get the dark primary fruit, the depth and the length on the mouthfeel.

James Suckling

The cherry, black-olive and dried-strawberry aromas are so attractive. Hints of cinnamon and licorice. Full-bodied, round and rich with lots of fruit and velvety tannins. Extremely flavorful and rich. Drink after 2022.

Deep red. Captivating aromas of red cherry, strawberry, sweet pipe tobacco, and flint. Impressively built, multifaceted and layered, this boasts very pure and round flavors similar to the aromas. The finish is long and dense, and features polished tannins and a suave texture. Knockout Brunello, probably the best I have had from La Fiorita in a very long time, and likely ever. Noticeably less floral than the 2015 classico Brunello from this estate but more complex and much deeper. Made with grapes taken from the best part of the Pian Bossolino and Poggio al Sole vineyards. The NO on the label stands for Natalie Oliveros, the estate owner; a real knockout, this wine is only made in the best vintages.

Wine in Black

Es ist ergreifend und begeisternd, einen Wein im Glas zu haben, der von 124 Jahre alten Reben stammt und sich so dicht und opulent, so tief und fruchtbetont präsentiert. Kein Wunder, dass der ‚Command Single Vineyard Shiraz‘ von James Suckling mit 96 Punkten bewertet wurde.

Robert Parker

Take Ancestor Vines (planted in 1894), a great vintage, experienced winemaking, add 30 months of aging in American and French oak, and the result is the stunning 2018 Command Single Vineyard Shiraz. Boasting fabulous density and concentration, this full-bodied effort is still almost embryonic in its development, with tarry, mocha, yet lifted notes accenting intense blackberry fruit; a rich, supple yet structured mouthfeel, and a long, mouthwatering finish.

Wine Spectator

Opens up with bright, juicy red fruit flavors, which are intense and set against a background of appealingly chewy tannins. Features fresh spice, herb and black tea notes that add complexity, with spicy cedar and tobacco accents and a touch of toasted clove lingering on the finish.

Die moderat kühlen Bedingungen während des Anbaus haben zu einer bemerkenswert sanften Reifung der Trauben geführt, was sich in der Reinheit und Eleganz des Weins widerspiegelt. Eines der besten Fundstücke Chiles!

James Suckling

An extremely pure and elegant vintage for Seña. This is really fresh, nimble and floral on the nose with subtle cherries, plums, redcurrants and wild lavender. More red fruit here with lots of layers and just a touch of sweet spice. Very discreet and subtle, with the elegance, freshness and poise you’d expect from 2021. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate with a bit more flesh and depth if you compare it with Roca de Seña, their second wine. The impeccable tannins show the supreme quality of the fruit this year. Persistent, seamless finish, but comes in a subtle way. 50% cabernet sauvignon, 27% malbec, 17% carmenere and 6% petit verdot. Effortlessly drinkable now, but it will age beautifully.

Robert Parker

One of the finest vintages of the iconic Seña wine, the 2021 Seña comes from a cooler year, following the path of 2016 and 2018, certainly cooler than 2020 and 2019. It has a super expressive nose that is elegant, nuanced, perfumed, subtle and pure, with aromatic finesse, layered and complex. It was picked a couple of weeks later than in the previous two years and still keeping the alcohol below 14%. It was produced with a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Malbec (cooler years with more), 17% Carmenere and 6% Petit Verdot, fermented mostly in stainless steel and 10% in oak foudre. It's fine-grained and structured but juicy, similar to 2018 but with more finesse. It has the spicy/herbal twist from the Cabernet, ultra-refined tannins that give it great elegance and with length, purity and delineation. Superb! 120,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2023.

Vinous by Antonio Galloni

The 2021 Seña is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with 27% Malbec, 17% Carménère and 6% Petit Verdot from Ocoa in the Aconcagua Valley. It was aged for 22 months, 90% in French oak barrels (70% new) and 10% in foudres. Purple with a garnet sheen. The nose presents vivid redcurrant and blackcurrant notes with a layer of garrigue against a cigar box backdrop. Dry in the mouth, refreshing acidity stirs up finely grained tannins to channel the palate. A lingering, fruity red that will grow in the bottle.

Der Châteauneuf-du-Pape ‚Deus Ex Machina‘ 2021 beeindruckt mit einer kraftvollen Struktur, die elegante Fruchtaromen und tiefgründige Noten vereint. Der Ausbau in Beton und Eiche sorgt für perfekte Balance zwischen Frische und Komplexität, was ihn zu einem außergewöhnlichen Genuss macht – wir stimmen Parker zu: Eine klare Empfehlung!

Robert Parker

The 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Deus Ex Machina is a strong candidate to be wine of the vintage. A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvèdre, it combines scents of black truffles and black cherries with hints of cedar and vanilla (the Mourvèdre is aged in new oak, the Grenache in concrete). It's full-bodied and concentrated, supple and almost creamy in feel, then long and velvety on the finish. Bravo.

Wine Spectator

A perfumed, very attractive red, with a generous and heady cascade of ripe steeped plum and cherry flavors. Silky on the lush palate, with polished, perfectly integrated tannins giving textural intrigue. Smoked meat and incense notes mingle with mulling spices and charred apple wood on the finish, which goes on and on. Powerful but not heavy-handed. Grenache and Mourvèdre.

Vinous by Antonio Galloni

The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Deus Ex Machina is this year’s front-runner at Clos Saint-Jean. Made in the usual blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvèdre, its perfume bursts with ripe red and black fruit aromas, melted licorice, roasted almonds, mint and cedar. Vibrant and complex, it offers refreshing acidity, velvety tannins and concludes with an eccentric finish.
