Palmer

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 93-95

Drink To: 2028-2043

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.

CRITIC REVIEWS

93-95
Antonio Galloni

The 2023 Alter Ego is plump, juicy and super-expressive. Soft, silky tannins enshroud a core of plum, red cherry, spice, menthol and mocha. All the elements are so nicely balanced. A burst of red-toned fruit and spice lingers on a finish lifted by bright acids. This is such a sensual Alter Ego.

92-94
William Kelley

Wafting from the glass with pure aromas of cherries, berries, plums and potpourri, the 2023 Alter Ego de Palmer is medium to full-bodied, bright and vibrant, with a vigorous core of fruit framed by supple tannins. It's a blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot.
