2022 Alter Ego is onweerstaanbaar heerlijk en kost een fractie van de Grand Vin. Er zullen wel maar 4.000 kistjes gemaakt worden want het rendement bedraagt slechts 22 hl/ha. 51% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon en 6% Petit Verdot. IN DE PERS 91-93 William Kelley – The Wine Advocate Issue 266 - robertparker.com (April 2023) A blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot, the 2022 Alter Ego de Palmer offers up aromas of cherries, wild berries and plums mingled with vine smoke and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, deep and brooding, with a layered core of fruit, lively acids and rich, powdery tannins, it's a gourmand, voluptuous wine that will offer a broad drinking window. 90-92 Neal Martin – vinous.com (Mei 2023) The 2022 Alter Ego is a deep limpid purple in color. It has a huge bouquet as if someone has shoved a bunch of violets in your face and said "Smell that". It just doesn't hold back. The palate is medium-bodied, with a sweet, ripe entry. Quite dense, structured and grippy, with a slightly briny finish. 93-95 Antonio Galloni – vinous.com (Mei 2023) The 2022 Alter Ego is a total pleasure bomb. Ripe and sensual, with caressing tannins, the 2022 is exceptionally beautiful. Floral and spice top notes lend tons of aromatic presence. More than anything, though, I am so impressed with the wine’s exceptional balance. Especially the tannins. Nothing in particular stands out, as the wine’s balance is nothing short of magnificent. The 2022 is pure and total sensuality. Drink 2027-2042. 91-93 Lisa Perrotti-Brown – thewineindependent.com (Mei 2023) The 2022 Alter Ego is a blend of 51% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 6% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, it swans out with showy notions of juicy blueberries, black raspberries, and iris bulb, followed by suggestions of dark chocolate, cardamom, and crushed rocks. The medium to full-bodied palate has beautifully ripe, plush tannins and a lively backbone to support the generous, perfumed black and blue fruits, finishing long and perfumed. pH 3.73. 17/20 James Lawther – jancisrobinson.com (Mei 2023) 51% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot. Cask sample. Fresh, floral and juicy, the accent on the fruit. A real delectation. Tannins firm but fine, so well structured as well. There’s drinkability but also the potential to age. 14.2%. Drink 2028– 2042. 96-97 James Suckling – jamessuckling.com (April 2023) The minerality and intensity to this wine is very impressive with blackberry and blue berry aromas and flavors. Salt and pepper. It’s full and linear with a brightness and freshness. Compacted center palate. 92 Jane Anson – janeanson.com (Mei 2023) Dense fruits, violet reflections, with a hit of iris, peony and roses. This is a serious wine, with intense phenolics and full extraction that just walks the line, edges of ripe cassis, fig, saffran spice, cocoa bean, grilled campfire notes, dark bitter chocolate and fennel. High drama, maintains estate signature, keeping its own imprint and personality. Harvest September 7 right through to October 5. Blend done by December, yield 23hl/h. 3.73ph. Thomas Duroux director. 93-95 Jeb Dunnuck – jebdunnuck.com (Mei 2023) I always love the second wine from this estate, and their 2022 Alter Ego De Palmer should be terrific. Based on 61% Merlot, 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Petit Verdot, aged in 25% new oak, it's a deeply hued Margaux with lots of ripe red and blue fruits, some classic chalky minerality, and floral notes. It shows the vintage's powerful, concentrated style and is full-bodied, with terrific balance. 93 Georgina Hindle – decanter.com (Mei 2023) 94-95 Ella Lister – lefigaro.fr (Mei 2023) – “Une bombe” Un nez sérieux et solennel, des fruits pourpres purs et accueillants, ainsi que des notes végétales intrigantes, d'iris notamment. Quelle plénitude, le vin remplit chaque coin de la bouche. Un vin avec du volume, avec, pour autant, la légèreté du tutu de danseuse. Le fruit est pur, puissant, éclatant, une bombe qui continue à s'exprimer sur la longue finale. 93-95 Jeff Leve – thewinecellarinsider.com (Mei 2023) Roses, violets, black currants, all spice, currants, and black cherries crowd into the perfume. On the palate, the medium-bodied wine is silky, sensuous, polished, and refined. The fruits are ripe, vibrant, sweet, and fresh. The red pit fruit finish, with its cocoa accent, and refined character is all about its purity and textural profile. The wine is a blend of 51% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 6% Petit Verdot. 14.2% ABV, 3.73 pH. Drink from 2025-2042. 95 Jean Marc Quarin - Quarin.fr (Mei 2023) 94 Markus Del Monego – tastingbook.com (Mei 2023) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
