Casa Lapostolle Cabernet Sauvignon Cuvée Alexandre 1997

Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileFairly intense cassis, spicy vanilla and berry jam on the nose. This wine benefits from the perfect '97 vintage. The palate is earthy and peppery with some berry jam but the tannins are soft and round. Good intensity and balance but not cheap. Drink with food now or hang on for a few years.Tasted: 01 March 2000Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
