Alter Ego De Palmer Margaux 2015 (by Chateau Palmer) - 5 Litre Bottle
Produced in France, Alter Ego de Palmer 2015 is a distinguished expression of the Margaux appellation in Bordeaux. The estate is steeped in history, famously shaped by the Pereire brothers in the 19th century and the Royal Hussar Charles Palmer, who prioritized finesse and elegance in his winemaking. Today, the winery operates with a philosophy that listens to its unique terroir, utilizing biodynamic practices to create wines that transcend fleeting trends.
Wine Description
This vintage presents a medium to deep garnet purple colour. The aromatics are remarkably pure and expressive, featuring a bouquet of blackberries, dark chocolate, crushed cherries, and ripe plums, complemented by sophisticated notes of lavender, incense, and cedar. On the palate, the wine is medium to full bodied, showing a vivacious and finely crafted structure with polished, 'sensational' tannin tension. Its character is defined by a balance of ripe fruit and fresh acidity, leading into an elegant finish with hints of graphite and truffle. Composed of 52% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 6% Petit Verdot, this wine offers an optimal drinking window from 2020 through 2034.
