Château Palmer
Alter Ego de Château Palmer, Margaux, 2008
justerini & brooks tasting note
52% Merlot, 48% Cabernet Sauvignon. Seductive nose of blackberries, blueberries, flowers and minerals. Pure cool black and red fruit core. Very svelte and pure with a rich, long, fresh finish.

89/100Neal Martin,Vinous
The 2008 Alter Ego de Palmer has a clean and fresh bouquet with blackberry, boysenberry, melted tar and dried rose petal aromas that gradually unfurl with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly dry tannin that lends this an austere personality, although it feels fairly well balanced and it has an easygoing finish that means you would happily polish off a bottle. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 10-Year On tasting.
