2014 Chateau Palmer Alter Ego de Palmer, Margaux, France (750ml)

WINEMAKER’S NOTES:

Blend: 52% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Petit Verdot

TASTING NOTES:

This second wine of Chteau Palmer is dense and structured. With ripe swathes of black fruits and juicy Merlot showing strongly, it already displays the potential of the vintage. Generous and ripe, the wine has a fine level of perfumed tannin. Drink from 2023.

Bursts with violet, plum and raspberry fruit, lined with silky tannins and backed by a tantalizing iron hint. Features lovely brisk energy and gorgeous purity.

– WineSpectator, 93 pts.

Aromas of spices and earth with mushrooms. Dark fruit. Full-bodied, dense and rich with earth and spices. A beauty. Soft and juicy. Savory yet exotic. From biodynamically grown grapes. First year. Drink or hold.
