Intense purple red color. It has a complex nose, with red and black fruit such as maqui berry and spices such as red pepper, vanilla and dill. The palate is wide, of medium acidity and round tannins with fruit such as sarsaparilla and maqui berry. Medium long finish.
Ideal for dishes such as rabbit roulade with mint and apricot or four-cheese pasta with truffles with grated truffles.
James Suckling: 94 Points
A spicy carmenere with nice complexity and freshness. Tapenade, currants and black cherries with grilled tarragon and a hint of roasted red pepper. A juicy, medium- to full-bodied palate that underscores the freshness and length. Fresh, medium acidity for carmenere with fine-grained tannins. Drink or hold.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
The 2021 Cuvée Alexandre Carmenère has 3% Merlot and is ripe at 14.5% alcohol, juicy and tasty but with limited varietal character, nicely crafted and with some black pepper in the finish. Best after 2023.
Wine Spectator
Lush and fruit-forward, with hibiscus accents to the raspberry and plum core, adding mineral and spice details around fine tannins. Drink now.
