DESCRIPTION
James Suckling A seductively floral, fruity and vibrant nose with a good lift of freshness and fruit. Crushed stones, blueberries, graphite, blue flowers and berries and a touch of white pepper. A combination of fruit and layers on the palate with fresh, mealy tannins that turn pretty chalky in the finish.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate A new addition to this range is the 2022 Cuvée Alexandre Cabernet Franc, which features 14% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Petit Verdot. It opens with a black-fruited and herbal nose, accented by a hint of new leather and deftly integrated creamy oak. Its texture embodies the quintessential Lapostolle style with velvety, slow-moving, seamless richness, concluding in a long, layered finish highlighted by perfumed lift and fine-grained tannins.
Vinous The 2022 Cabernet Franc Cuvée Alexandre, sourced from Apalta, displays a purple hue. Aromas of ash, sour cherry, cassis and a faint hint of green bell pepper emanate from the glass. Indulgent and grippy, the fairly concentrated palate leads to a richly extracted mouthfeel. This is a savory, ripe red.
Wine Spectator Elegant and fresh, opening with floral, raspberry and red currant notes, while a graphite underpinning lends a pleasant mineral tinge to the finish around fine tannins and hints of chili-laced chocolate.
