Decanter om:
Alter Ego de Chateau Palmer (2.Wein)
Rose petals and raspberries, floral and aromatic, evocative and sensual. Something a tiny bit sweet and concentrated about the nose. Juicy and soft straight away, tannins are powdery, supporting the fruit and not overwhelming it. It's clean and focussed, relatively tight and tense, all in one line but there’s lovely expression of wild fruit flavours and aromas that continues. Salty liquorice, slate and tobacco. Well framed. No drop in the mid palate, really finessed and a light touch. Crunchy and crisp, not super plush, but there’s layers. With mint and graphite. Very drinkable. So much energy. 55% production. 12% press. Ageing 20% new oak for the first year, then foudre 3,000l casks. 3.7pH.
