About this Item

Margaux, 2015
3 (1 x 3) 750ml

Alter Ego was created in 1998 with the purchase of 8 additional hectares of vines. Château Palmer does not view this as a second wine due to the different plots used as well as the unique selection and blending approach in making Alter Ego.

Critics Ratings

‘Composed of 52% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Franc and 6% Petit Verdot, the 2015 Alter Ego de Palmer has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and gorgeous nose of ripe plums, cassis and crushed cherries with touches of incense, lavender and chocolate box. Medium-bodied, very finely crafted and vivacious in the mouth, it finishes with great elegance and finesse.’ – Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate (RobertParker.com) 2017, 91/100
