Alexandra Estate Reserved 2011

Qualities according to the manufacturer:
A rich and sparkling crimson colour. An impressive nose filled with concentrated aromas of red fruits, tobacco, leather and spices, with exquisitely interwoven French oak. The taste is rich, powerful and elegant. An unforgettable long aftertaste!

Quality and Ratings according to Di Vino (November 2014):
Lovely, brisk, garnet red color with terracotta sparkles. Complex aroma with noble accents of spearmint, natural chocolate, allspice and bay leaves, cedar and black olives. A compact, powerful body with an extremely well-balanced aftertaste of freshness, mature tannins and ripe fruit with tobacco, dried tomatoes and cinnamon. Extracted and incisive wine with noble bearing and potential (2015-2021). An exceptional wine (91 р.).

Properties and evaluation according to DiVino (September 2014):
Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot & Cabernet Franc & Syrah with a deep garnet-red colour with slight brick hues. The nose is generous and complex, with notes of sweet exotic spices, prunes in chocolate, raspberry confit and cocoa. A full, but tight and fresh body with suede, very ripe and grainy tannins and an elegant, spicy and dry finish. Dark chocolate and raspberries in the aftertaste. A classy wine with potential (2015-2020). An outstanding wine (91 р.).
