This is a delicious and savory wine with beautiful, ripe and creamy tannins, as well as chocolate and plum character. Full body.
With the idea of producing a wine that shows another facet to the estate at Chateau Palmer, Alter Ego is led by the same high standards that govern the composition of Château Palmer's great wine.
the 2019 Alter Ego immediately impresses with its explosive aromatics. Subtle notes of red fruits evoking raspberries and redcurrants blend harmoniously with the floral fragrance of a field in spring. The sensation on the palate, initially refreshing, unfolds into a texture of great softness and length. This is Alter Ego at its best – a wine perfectly true to its identity.
Like most critics, Jeb Dunnuck speaks highly of this wine, even comparing it to a Grand Vin 'It might be the richest, most concentrated second wine out here, and truthfully, it tastes like a Grand Vin. Medium to full-bodied, layered, and textured, it has ripe tannins, a fleshy, mouth-filling texture, and a great finish. It's beautifully done.
James Suckling 96/100
Jeb Dunnuck 94/100
Decanter 94/100
Vinious 94/100
Ready to drink, but will continue to develop and improve till 2045
WE suggest decanting for 2 to 3 hours in wide-bottom decanter to reveal the complexity and savoury aspects of this complex wine.
Would pair perfectly with meaty steaks, herb-crusted Roasts of Lamb, Beef Pot Roasts, and Grilled Lamb Chops.
