2012 Alter Ego de Palmer, Margaux, BordeauxSadly, there is only very small production of Alter Ego de Palmer this year, but it is really worth seeking this one out as it is, once again, absolutely fabulous.

Displaying beautifully brilliant balance, it kicks many other chteauxs Grand Vins into the cheap seats. Drink 2016 2026 Berry Bros. &
