ALTER EGO DU CHATEAU PALMER 2017 13% 75CL

Description

Vintage 2017 - The terroir laid bare. Vine growth got off to an ideal start, until late frosts cast uncertainty over the vintage. Fortunately, the river would shield us with its warmth. Excellent weather conditions followed. In the winery, the character of each parcel became our guides. What emerged are wines of precision, true to themselves.

A blend of 53% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Alter Ego de Palmer is very deep purple-black in color and gives up exuberant crushed red currants, red cherries, black plums and mulberries with touches of forest floor, garrigue and lavender plus a waft of dark chocolate. The palate is medium-bodied with a good core of plummy fruit and very soft, plush tannins, sparked by just enough freshness, finishing fruity.

93 points - This shows excellent body and depth of fruit. Rich and very deep. Layered and flavorful. Solid and chewy. Serious second wine.
