Den Alter Ego 2020 des Chateau Palmer beschreibt Jeff Leve wie folgt:
93-95
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.
Den Alter Ego 2020 des Chateau Palmer beschreibt William Kelley wie folgt:
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.
Den Alter Ego 2020 des Chateau Palmer beschreibt James Suckling wie folgt:
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.
Den Alter Ego 2020 des Chateau Palmer beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt:
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.
Den Alter Ego 2020 des Chateau Palmer beschreibt der Falstaff wie folgt:
Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Zarter Hauch von schwarzen Herzkirschen, ein Hauch von Ribiseln, dezent nach Brombeeren und kandierten Orangenzesten, Saftig, süße Textur, zeigt eine Spur von reifen Zwetschken und Feigen, seidige Tannine, etwas Schokolade im Abgang, straff und anhaftend, zeigt gutes Entwicklungspotenzial und Länge.
