Lapostolle Cuvee Alexandre Cabernet Sauvignon Apalta 2022 750ml

Expert Reviews – Vintage 2022

James Suckling 94 Points | A fresh nose full of fruit. Dark cherries, fresh blueberries, spices, crushed stones and olives. A touch of graphite, too. Well-structured and vertical on the palate, but there is also fluidity in the center palate filled with fruit. Tight grip of crunchy tannins at the end before a long, fruit-expressive finish. Drink from 2025.

The Wine Advocate 92 Points |The 2022 Cuve Alexandre Cabernet Sauvignon strikes a desirable balance between soft, creamy approachability and a serious expression of its origins. On the nose, red and black fruits blend with fresh rosemary and sage aromas, all framed with judicious new oak. The palate is rich and layered, embracing the lavish house profile while retaining a deftness and purity that carries through to the elegant, refined finish.

The Wine Enthusiast 91 Points | This full-bodied Cabernet has a nose of cranberries, blackberries and herbs. Fruity and fresh, it offers integrated notes of wood spices that enhance dark berry flavors, leading to a lengthy finish.

The Wine Spectator 88 Points | Young and lively, this is bursting with rose petal and hibiscus details, revealing juicy raspberry and cherry flavors at the core. Very drinkable. Drink now. 12,350 cases made, 5,000 cases imported.
