Alter Ego 2019 – Margaux

The nose is fruity and offers minerality, freshness, a nice dynamic and a nice concentration in finesse and depth. There are notes of ripe boysenberry, crushed wild blackcurrant and a hint of liquorice combined with hints of camphor, ripe red berries and a hint of spice, cardamom, a hint of star anise/almost eucalyptus and a subtle touch of pepper. The palate is elegant, balanced and offers nice definition, precision, freshness, guideline, minerality and dynamism. On the palate this wine expresses notes of black cherry/cherry, juicy blackcurrant and more slightly raspberry combined with hints of red plum, liquorice/zan, fine points of racy minerality/Margaux gravel, chocolate, almost caramelisation as well as a subtle hint of cardamom, tea, blueberry, Madagascar pepper and a very discreet hint of roast (in the background). The tannins already offer a certain mellowness and chewiness. A floral hint on the finish.
