Other Reviews....
Cinnamon spice on the nose, with a patisserie edge to the fruits that gives a rich, creamy impression. As ever with the Palmer stable of wines, you can pick out the individual flavours clearly, with careful and precise delineation of cassis, bilberry, slate and tobacco notes, but overall this is an outstanding Alter Ego that puts the emphasis on pleasure. Tannins are extremely precise but feathery and pliable. An extremely low 37ppm of SO2 at this stage, in keeping with biodynamic principles and a desire to let the fruit speak. 3.62ph. 45hl/h yield, 45% of overall production in Alter Ego.

Jane Anson - Decanter

A dark, intense, and beautiful colour. Very aromatic yet subtle on the nose, with nuances of black fruit. A very detailed, tactile palate with savoury depth. The mid-palate density increases progressively towards a very long, very good finish. (translated from French
