Casa Lapostolle Cuvée Alexandre Syrah Las Kuras Vineyard

Notes - 100% Syrah from Las Kuras Vineyard, Requinoa, Cachapoal Valley. All the wine was aged 21 months in new French oak barrels. The Cuvée Alexandre Syrah is intense and dark, inky purple with deep purple shades. The nose has powerful, rich aromas of jammy red and black fruits & berries. Meaty qualities of bacon fat balanced against spice & floral qualities towards the end with framing notes of nutmeg and vanilla from the well integrated oak. Overall, very complex and attractive. Concentrated & very well balanced on the palate with soft, velvety tannins lingering in the mouth. Very rich mid-palate and a long finish. Goes very well with rich red meat such as lamb, beef and wild boar. Serve at 16°C.
