CHÂTEAU PALMER

Alter Ego 2004
The bouquet is very expressive, featuring fruit aromas, such as black cherry, blackcurrant, and peach, with slight hints of vanilla and liquorice. The initial impression on the palate is full-bodied, with a rich, soft flavour. The fine-textured tannins contribute to the body and melt into a rich aftertaste with slight vanilla overtones.

Blend: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Merlot

Château Palmer 2004
Ripe fruit aromas mixed with hints of soft spices such as cinnamon, with overtones of black and pink pepper, as well as floral notes reminiscent of acacia flowers. On the palate, the texture is perfectly well-balanced and flavourful, supported by ripe tannins that give it density and length without any harshness. Beautiful aftertaste!
