The 2015 ‘Cuvèe Alex’ is a superb showing made from 65% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre and 5% Cinsault. It opens to aromas of cherries and red plums laced with lavender, black olives, crushed stones and hints of tobacco which burst from the glass. On the palate this is beautifully textured, with lovely overall concentration and depth. It continues to impress with a ripe core that radiates black fruits and sweet plum flavors leading up the plush finish. Absolutely delicious now, yet expect this to age gracefully for many years to come. (Best 2019-2032) - November, 2017 (JD)
