Alter Ego 2006

2nd Wine of Ch Palmer, 3GCC Margaux. Aromatically one of the most generous and seductive wines I've come across - living up to Palmer name. Intense confectionary and floral notes w hint of oak - evolving and complex. Silky mouthfeel going for 'elegance' rather than power or density. Light bodied w a hint of spice and still v tannic. Some complexity to keep it interesting. Short finish. Feminine. Typical Margaux - always impressive on the nose, but too thin on the palate for me (8.0/10).
