Description

2015 Alter Ego de Palmer, Margaux, Bordeaux52% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot. Ch. Palmer's second wine is really aromatic in 2015, a hallmark of this great commune in Bordeaux, but something that always seems to be taken to the next level at this historic estate. One of the top second wines, Alter Ego, is lush and approachable, with red fruit dominant on the nose. The wine almost has its own identity now, which is one of the greatest compliments we can pay it. Beautifully

Richer on the palate but still with enough structure

It has bags of fruit

after which half the vineyard was uprooted due to the aged vines that were planted in the 1950s

Sauvignon Blanc from both Bordeaux and the Loire falls naturally into this category

the all-stems Barolo was huge

as well as a little more depth on the finish

Poised and beautiful

but the Monforte aspect still appears

just delicious

Rose water

pear drops

Offering up aromas of smoky pear
