ursts with violet, plum and raspberry fruit, lined with silky tannins and backed by a tantalizing iron hint. Features lovely brisk energy and gorgeous purity. Tasted non-blind.—J.M.

Aromas of spices and earth with mushrooms. Dark fruit. Full-bodied, dense and rich with earth and spices. A beauty. Soft and juicy. Savory yet exotic. From biodynamically grown grapes. First year. Drink or hold.

The Alter Ego de Palmer 2014 is a blend of 52% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Petit Verdot. It has an opulent, glossy bouquet with layers of small dark cherries and plenty of glycerin. The palate is more reserved than the bouquet suggests: saturated tannins, a little chewiness on the entry but suppler towards the finish. It feels very linear in keeping with the style of the vintage, the finish a little sweet than its peers with a dab of licorice on the aftertaste. <br/>

Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte, Granatschimmer am Rand. Traumhaftes Bouquet florale Noten, aber auch eine tolle Aromatik zeigend, dies mit mittlerem Druck. Im Gaumen eher schlank, feine Muskeln, Tabak und Maulbeeren, würziges Finale. Früher Genuss, zu einem nicht ganz gastronomischen Preis.
