Aroma: The wine offers intense aromas of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry, with subtle hints of cedar, tobacco, and graphite. Notes of vanilla, cloves, and mocha from oak aging add complexity, while a touch of mint and eucalyptus provides freshness and vibrancy to the bouquet.
Palate: Lapostolle Cuvée Alexandre Cabernet Sauvignon presents a full-bodied and well-structured palate, with velvety tannins and a rich, layered texture.

The wine’s excellent balance of fruit, acidity, and oak results in a harmonious and elegant profile.
Finish: The finish is long and lingering, with persistent flavors of black fruit, spices, and a hint of minerality. Smooth tannins and well-integrated oak contribute to the wine’s seamless finish, making it suitable for both immediate enjoyment and cellaring.
Serving Recommendations:
Decant the wine for about 30 minutes to an hour before serving to allow it to breathe and fully express its aromas and flavors.
Serve in large Bordeaux-style glasses to enhance the wine’s bouquet and mouthfeel.
Lapostolle Cuvée Alexandre Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with grilled meats such as ribeye steak, lamb chops, or beef tenderloin.
It also complements hearty dishes such as beef stew, roasted duck, or mushroom risotto.

This wine can be enjoyed upon release but has the potential to age gracefully for 5-10 years or more, developing additional complexity and depth over time.
