2008 - Alter Ego de Palmer

"One of the finest examples of this cuvee I have tasted. Well-integrated wood smoke intermixed with notes of creme de cassis, earth, and forest floor are found in this opulent, deliciously fruity, round, and sensual effort. It should drink beautifully for 10-15 years." Reviewed by Robert Parker. -The Wine Advocate, 89-90 pts.
"Blackberry and cherry on the nose, with hints of smoke. Medium-bodied, with firm tannins and a silky finish. Slightly hollow midpalate." -Wine Spectator, 87-90 pts.
