Lapostolle 2003 Borobo Red (Rapel Valley-Casablanca Valley)
- $70
Ripe and full on both the bouquet and palate. It’s a rich wine from a good year, and thus the prune, licorice and chocolate aromas take center stage. In the mouth, this multigrape blend that ranges from Bordeaux varieties to Pinot Noir is on the money. It’s round, rewarding and full of deep black fruit and sweet, balancing fudge and candy. Better sooner than later…

Lapostolle 2008 Borobo Red (Rapel Valley-Casablanca Valley)
- $70
This unique five-grape blend is deep and succulent, with pastry, berry jam and cassis aromas. It’s thick but carries enough acidity to be balanced just right. Tastes of baked blackberry, chocolate, mocha and licorice. Rich and sticky on the finish, but not gooey or cloying. Drink now through 2013; Carmenère with Pinot Noir, Merlot, Syrah and Petit Verdot.

Lapostolle 2001 Borobo Red (Rapel Valley-Casablanca Valley)
- $65
Solid as a soldier and convincing despite its unconventional components, which include Pinot Noir Syrah, among others. It’s probably more of a wine for now than for storing; the palate is ripe and supple, with a lot of extract, cola and brown sugar. Tannic but not hard. Imported by Moët Hennessy USA.

Lapostolle 2002 Borobo Red (Rapel Valley-Casablanca Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $70
Not as lush and sweet as the 2003, but still showing the blend’s earthy fruit, spice, leather and moderate richness. The nose is saturated with a combination of oak, dark plum and blackberry, and there’s a charred essence to the palate, which shows modest tannins and medium depth. Finishes solid but a little resiny. Drink now through 2009.
