Merchant's description

Palmer Alter Ego 2014 is crafted from a blend of 55% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot. The aromatics reveal notes of blackcurrant, plum and subtle spice. On the palate, the texture is firm, with structured tannins providing a robust framework. The wine`s acidity is balanced, leading to a lingering finish that showcases hints of dark chocolate and a touch of earthiness. Château Palmer, established in 1748, is known for its commitment to sustainable viticulture and the pursuit of quality in every vintage.
