Alter Ego De Palmer Margaux 2019 (750ml)
Dark purple and richly scented, the 2019 Alter Ego opens with heady aromas of blackcurrants, cherries and violets, layered with hints of tobacco and chocolate. The palate is energetic yet refined, offering juicy black fruits framed by velvety tannins and fresh acidity. A second wine in name only, it carries the depth and structure of a Grand Vin, with notes of graphite and crushed herbs adding complexity. Balanced and confident, it showcases Palmer's hallmark finesse with a playful, vibrant touch — a superb Margaux that will age beautifully.

The second wine of Château Palmer, the 2019 Alter Ego De Palmer is rock-solid and reveals a dense purple hue as well as deep, rich, concentrated aromas and flavors of ripe black cherries, blackcurrants, tobacco, graphite, and chocolate. 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.

The 2019 Alter Ego de Palmer is delineated and focused on the nose with blackberry, cedar and graphite scents. More austere yet still complex and one with the most cerebral Margaux. aromatics. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, quite saline and peppery, firm and insistent grip with quiet assertive tannins on the finish. A Margaux that should be given a long-term lease in your cellar. (NM)
