It was aged 14 months in oak barrels and, as a result, the fresh palate showcases bright fruit flavors and light notes of toasted oak, creating a balanced and concentrated mouthfeel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"reviewBody\" class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Rating\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"reviewRating\" class=\"sr-only\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_rating\"\u003e90 Points \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"author\" class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThis 2022 Merlot Cuvée Alexandre is sourced from Apalta in the Colchagua Valley. It delivers the expected ripe varietal character, with cherry and spices set against a balsamic backdrop. Dry and juicy, with reactive, structured tannins, it leaves a fairly clingy mouthfeel with a lingering balsamic whiff. It will certainly darken in bottle, but it will also soften over time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"winebow","offers":[{"title":"1 \/ 750 ml","offer_id":42480000008297,"sku":"30319344","price":29.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1780\/9427\/files\/jdk0oocw50eswkd42ffc.jpg?v=1767822658","url":"https:\/\/winechateau.com\/products\/lapostolle-cuvee-alexandre-merlot-6cs-2022","provider":"Wine Chateau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
