This 2017 Alter Ego de Palmer is best served at 16-18°C. We recommend decanting it for 1-2 hours before serving to allow its aromas to fully develop. It is approachable now but will continue to evolve and drink beautifully from 2022 to 2035 and beyond.

Alter Ego de Palmer is the elegant second wine of Château Palmer, known for its aromatic complexity, notes of red and black fruits, floral hints, and refined tannins. It's more approachable in its youth than the Grand Vin. It pairs excellently with roasted duck, char siu, beef stir-fry, or lamb dishes.

This bottle is in perfect condition with a perfect label (score 10), in neck level filled (score 10), and a perfect capsule (score 10). No specific precautions are needed. For home storage, keep the bottle horizontally in a cool, dark place with stable temperature and humidity to ensure optimal aging.

Alter Ego de Palmer consistently receives strong scores from critics, typically in the 90-93 point range, reflecting its high quality. While it offers excellent drinking pleasure and is a superb representation of Margaux, its investment value is moderate compared to the Grand Vin. It's a fantastic choice for enjoyment.
