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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sr-only\" itemprop=\"reviewRating\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Rating\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_rating\"\u003e90 Points \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\" itemprop=\"author\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe 2022 Cabernet Franc Cuvée Alexandre, sourced from Apalta, displays a purple hue.
