Score 91/100 · Drink 2014-2022, Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, Oct 2014
A beautiful effort that's dedicated to the importer Robert Kacher's son Alex, the 2012 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvee Alex, a blend of Grenache and Mourvedre, offers beautiful aromatics of black cherry, new leather, licorice and hints of vanilla-laced spice. This flows to a medium to full-bodied, rich, layered and beautifully fruited Châteauneuf du Pape that has a supple, balanced profile, good concentration and plenty of length. It's an outstanding bottle of wine that can be consumed anytime over the coming 7-8 years.
