Palmer Alter Ego 2012 is a full-bodied, Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux. Château Palmer is a 3ème Cru Classé property and is one of the most celebrated estates in the Margaux appellation in Bordeaux, renowned for producing rich and opulent wines with exceptional longevity. Alter Ego is the second wine of the estate and in the 2012 vintage is a blend of 51% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Petit Verdot. "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." James Suckling, 2015
