    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Alter Ego de Château Palmer, Margaux, 2009

    49% Cabernet Sauvignon and 51% Merlot. The 2009 Alter Ego is a beauty. Notes of vanilla, spice box, liqueur cherries and flowers. The palate is soft and seductive and packed with raisiny, super-ripe fruit. Rich and concentrated, this is stylish, seductive with beautifully managed tannins and a svelte texture.

    Neal Martin, Vinous
    The 2009 Alter Ego de Palmer offers fleshy red cherry and wild strawberry scents on the nose, rose petal mixed with subtle mulch-like aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity, fresh and poised with an open and expressive, slightly ferrous finish. This has a lot of personality and it should continue to age well. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.
