This is amazing for the second wine with incredible white truffle, stone and currant character. Purity of fruit on the nose. Full-bodied, silky and refined. Fantastic length. Better in 2018 but almost impossible to resist now. Incredible.

Another brilliant example from administrator Thomas Duroux and his team, the intense second wine, Palmer’s 2012 Alter Ego (51% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Petit Verdot), offers up plenty of blackberry and crème de cassis notes along with some spring flowers, licorice and subtle background oak. Opulently textured, full-bodied and stunning, this is an outrageously successful second wine to drink over the next 12-15 years.

Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Herrliches Brombeerenbouquet vermischt mit Lakritze. Im Gaumen samtig mit sehr geschmeidigen Tanninen, velourshafte Textur, aromatisches Finale. Der beste Alter Ego seit seinem Bestehen!!! warten (2015 - 2028)

Shows good energy, with a lively savory note, a bright iron streak and enticing damson plum, black cherry and red currant fruit. Everything knits through the finish, suggesting this should be able to handle modest cellaring. Best from 2016 through 2020. 7,083 cases made. –JM
