2023 Alter Ego de Palmer Margaux
Under the deft touch of Thomas Duroux, Château Palmer continues its storied legacy in the Margaux appellation. The 2023 vintage, a biodynamic masterpiece, marries Merlot (47%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (47%) with a hint of Petit Verdot (6%). Despite a challenging growing season, this wine boasts exceptional elegance, with concentrated berries and a silky, harmonious finish—a true embodiment of Palmer’s timeless allure.
James Suckling
This is dense and velvety with a creamy texture. Blackberry, blueberry and stone aromas and flavors. Layered. Very primary and focused. 53% cabernet sauvignon, 43% merlot and 4% petit verdot.
Vinous
The 2023 Alter Ego is plump, juicy and super-expressive. Soft, silky tannins enshroud a core of plum, red cherry, spice, menthol and mocha. All the elements are so nicely balanced. A burst of red-toned fruit and spice lingers on a finish lifted by bright acids. This is such a sensual Alter Ego.
