Casa Lapostolle Cuvée Alexandre Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Michel Rolland project with Grand Marnier family!
Color: Inked and dark deep red with dark violet shadows. Nose: Complex and attractive nose composed mainly by red fruits such as black-cherries, plums and wild berries combined with mocha, cedar and tobacco. Sweet finish of vanilla and fine herbs. Mouth: Soft and juicy tannins shows an interesting complexity and a full body. Well balanced, elegant and attractive oak that enhances the fruit to finish with a long and pleasant aftertaste. Service and food pairing: Ready to drink now or cellar for several years. Decant and serve at 16-18. Ideal companion for meats and elaborate dishes.
Wine Enthusiast
It doesn’t take an expert to quickly realize that this is a fine Cabernet. The nose deals potent black cherry and char, while airing unleashes a subtle perfume and floral notes. In the mouth, there’s ripe berry flavors and chocolate, while late in the game the tannins stay smooth but tight. A congruent wine with no flaws. Ready now or ageable for a couple of years.
Score: 91.

Wine Spectator
Rich and polished, with a solid core of blackberry and black currant fruit layered with mocha, sweet spice and briar notes. Shows more purity and freshness, with less toast, than previous vintages. The finish is long and juicy. Drink now through 2008. 16,000 cases made.
Score: 90.

International Wine Cellar
Dark red. Lively dark berry aromas are complemented by sexy floral and spice qualities, along with a gentle note of graphite. Juicy and impressively precise, offering sweet, medium-weight blackberry, cassis and rose pastille flavors. Dusty tannins build with air, adding solid structural support to the long, sappy finish. Pretty seductive stuff.
Score: 90.
