Palmer Alter Ego Margaux 2010
Red
Margaux, France
7.0
WineSaint
Cassis and slate drive through with impressive focus and intensity. The structure feels more Pauillac than Margaux. Firm tannins and bright acidity create a backbone that's unusually taut for Alter Ego. Cedar and graphite emerge on the finish. This vintage trades Palmer's typical elegance for power and demands cellaring.
