The score for 1998 Alter Ego de Palmer Margaux is 91 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Very deep garnet colour. Smokey spicy aromas with some sweaty saddles, cloves and white pepper complimenting the core of warm cassis. The medium+ bodied wine is quite muscular with concentrated, somewhat masculine savoury fruit juxtaposed by the elegance of structure. Medium to firm very fine tannins and medium+ acidity. Long finish
