2015 Chateau Palmer Alter Ego de Palmer, Margaux, France, 3000mL (Double Magnum), [96 points]

$470.00

The 2015 Alter Ego de Palmer is widely regarded as one of the finest vintages of this second wine, showing remarkable purity, finesse, and intensity. Aromas of blackberries, cassis, cedar, lavender, and dark chocolate lead into a full-bodied palate framed by polished yet powerful tannins. Velvety blackcurrant fruit and ripe cherries shine through, balanced by excellent tension and depth. While approachable now for its charm and sweet fruit, this is also a structured Margaux with the ability to age gracefully for 10–15 years, delivering both elegance and power.
