Well-sculpted, with enough concentration to the dark plum, maduro tobacco, anise and warm tar notes to merit some cellaring, but enough bright acidity and juicy briar hints to make this accessible now.

A second wine that has improved dramatically is the Alter Ego de Palmer. The 2009, a blend of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, exhibits aromas of blackberries, cassis, chocolate, roasted espresso and a smoky/foresty note. This hedonistic, juicy, succulent

What a second wine. This is so delicious with a dense palate and beautiful yet friendly structure. Velvety tannins coat your mouth but it is the savory fruit that brings you back for more. Love the chocolate and coffee undertones.

Tasted blind. Dark crimson. Violet-scented. Cool and fresh. Dry but with drive. Well balanced and lively. Very neat. (JR)

Intense ruby red with purple hues, nuanced brightening on the rim. Fresh black cherries, a hint of plums, subtle floral nuances, an inviting bouquet. Juicy, dark berry fruit, a refined extracted sweetness, ripe, structured tannins, at optimal maturity, mineral aftertaste, great with food..
