Chateau Palmer Alter Ego, Margaux AoC 2005

Tasted 19/12/2011, with Sara, Beata and Jean Marc. 14% ABV, about £60 UK retail. The second wine of the great 2nd growth Chateau Palmer. Fantastic deep purple colour. Great nose of blackcurrants and forest floor. Very concentrated crushed dark fruits and juicy sweet berries on the palate, with mocha and coffee. A classic and excellent value for money - as claret goes. From 2011, 17 / 20.
