James Suckling über den Alter Ego de Palmer 2019 Margaux Chateau Palmer:
11 Nov, 2021 – Intense aromas of blackcurrants, cedar and ripe tobacco with hints of violets, following through to a full-bodied palate with extremely refined tannins that are well-integrated into the wine and are long and subtle at the finish. Such precision and harmony with structure. From biodynamically grown grapes. Best after 2023.
Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Alter Ego de Palmer 2019 Margaux Chateau Palmer:
The 2019 Alter Ego is a huge, dense wine. Ripe, exotic and packed to the core, Alter Ego makes a convincing first impression. Time in the glass brings out floral accents and redder tonalities of fruit. Partial aging in foudres has introduced and element of rigor and tension here that is so alluring in the way it complements the natural richness these wines always show.
Und Neal Martin (Vinous) zum Alter Ego de Palmer 2019 Margaux Chateau Palmer:
The 2019 Alter Ego de Palmer has a classically styled bouquet featuring a mélange of red and black fruit, briar, hints of cedar, and a touch of black tea, all showing lovely delineation. The palate is fresh and vibrant, displaying a touch of sour cherry on the granular-textured opening. There is something very "old school" about this Alter Ego in contrast to the 2018. Very saline toward the finish, with good persistence.
Der Alter Ego de Palmer 2019 Margaux Chateau Palmer am Gaumen der Falstaff-Verköstiger:
Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Feine schwarze Beerenfrucht, Nuancen von Zimt und Edelholz, reife Herzkirschen und Noten von Orangenmermelade unterlegt. Komplex, saftig und elegant, finessenreich strukturiert, gut integrierte Tannine, salzige Mineralität im Abgang, verfügt über eine tolle Frische, sicheres Entwicklungspotenzial, kann aber bereits antrunken werden. Noch vor zehn Jahren wäre das wohl die Qualität des Grand Vins gewesen... (2025 - 2040)
