93 points James Suckling: "Spicy, yet exuberant, with black and red plums, cumin, fennel and some fine mineral accents. Pure and bright with a densely packed, full-bodied palate. Powerful yet tense and polished tannins. 85% carmenere, 12% syrah and 3% petit verdot. Drinkable now, but better from 2024. (6/17/22)"

91 points Joaquín Hidalgo (Vinous): "The 2020 Carménère Cuvée 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. Drink: 2022-2030. (Jun 2022)"
