Description

Alter Ego de Palmer 2000 

Cantenac (Margaux)

Level into the neck

Incredible colour. Vibrant and full of damp earth and black truffles on the nose. So youthful and silkily vanillin on the palate. Such a beautiful centre to it. Remarkable as a so-called "second wine". Michel Roux of Le Gavroche did a marvellous pan fried duck foie gras, crispy pancake and a port and cinnamon reduction dish that went superlatively with this wine. In 2011, it remains a luscious wine that is still amazingly youthful. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
