Casa Lapostolle
Cuvée Alexandre Colchagua Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Colchagua Valley, Rapel Valley, Central Valley, Chile
Very enjoyable especially for the price of about $25. It really opened up after a day open. First day was just ok. Second day was more elegant and refined.

2015 vintage. Grippy and gritty tannins. Blackberry, tree bark, currant, elderberry, black plum, clove, cassia, cedar. A bit of a baked quality to the fruit, but doesn't seem overipe or candied.

A deep red color with dark purple hints invites you to fresh red fruit aromas such as plums and cherries and delicate notes of sweet spices. An elegant sent.
In mouth, a concentrated body with balance and length provides a good tannic structure and round mid, persistent palate.
Excellent Chilean wine...

This almost tastes fortified like somebody added a little Thunderbird for good measure. Super jammy but not my jam.

Yup there’s that green bell pepper. Big tannins. I mean...I don’t hate it, but it’s not knocking my socks off. A lot more vegetable quality on this so people use to California style Cabernet probably will not enjoy this.

Inky in color with a purplish rim.
Not very aromatic on the nose with blackberries, Cola, vanilla, licorice, metals and black pepper.
Full-bodied who is medium acidity and nice legs.
Fruity and dry on the palate, with blackberries, figs, vanilla, licorice, Cola, spices and black pepper.
Medium plus on the finish with big tannins and peppercorn.
This is a nice Cabernet from Chile. Should be better in a couple of years but very drinkable now. Lots of cola flavors which ruined it a little bit for me. Great mouth feel, nice and balanced.

This is great. Might have more years ahead if you want, but why wait?
