The 2020 Carmenere Cuvee Alexandre also contains 12% Syrah and 3% Petit Verdot from Apalta, Colchagua, and spent 10 months in used barrels. Purple in the glass, with hints of blackberry, plum and twists of mint and pyrazine, it has a lovely structure, delivering firm, juicy tannins and sustained flavor while the terroir brings intensity.
