Alter Ego

Alter Ego 2015

Palmer

Case Format: 12x75cl

Max score: 96.0

Alter Ego is a stunning wine from one of Margaux’s leading estates, Château Palmer. Creating some of the best wines in all of Bordeaux, Château Palmer often rivals the outstanding wines of their illustrious neighbours. The first Alter Ego made its debut in 1998 after the purchasing of 8 additional hectares for the Palmer estate. This wine comes from different plots to Palmer, and therefore is not viewed as second wine. Alter Ego is aged in 25-40% new French oak for 16-18 months. This supple wine is characterised by its fresh fruit, crispness, and rich intensity that all takes shape the moment it leaves the barrel.

Tasted blind. Mid to dark crimson. Floral, aromatic, lifted. Sweet start. Pretty fine and appealing. Alter Ego? Satisfying. Very fresh.

Jane Anson

Deep ruby in colour, so much texture to this wine you really can sink into it. A fist of blueberry, raspberry and cassis fruit, with juice running right through. A sense of energy and irresistable momentum that pushes forward just as the liquorice, slate and pummice stone minerality work to pull you back in. Hard to resist, this is just a wonderfully impressive vintage, dense and structured tannins with gunsmoke, grilled cedar and a smile on the finish. Harvest September 22 to October 7. At this point the estate was fully in conversion, working 100% organically and biodynamically. 60% new oak.
