What Critics Think
James Suckling : 93 Points
(2/11/2024) A fresh and vibrant merlot with racy plums, cherries, olives and touches of pencil shavings, iron and cumin. Medium- to full-bodied with fine-grained tannins and a crunchy, fresh finish. Pretty long and fruity. Textbook-quality merlot. Better from 2025.
Vinous - Joaquin Hidalgo : 90 Points
(7/2024) This 2022 Merlot Cuvée Alexandre is sourced from Apalta in the Colchagua Valley. It delivers the expected ripe varietal character, with cherry and spices set against a balsamic backdrop. Dry and juicy, with reactive, structured tannins, it leaves a fairly clingy mouthfeel with a lingering balsamic whiff. It will certainly darken in bottle, but it will also soften over time. Drinking Window: 2024 - 2032.
