Decadently rich

and two-thirds of that oak is new

all wrapped in a moderately austere

the 2017 Alter Ego de Palmer is deep garnet-purple in color and springs from the glass with vivacious black raspberries

Glaetzer, Shiraz other_regions_australia Decadently rich(from vines reportedly between 85 and 115 years of age) Inky ruby. Spicy blackberry, cherry and dark chocolate on the nose, with complicating notes of espresso and dried violet. Cool and restrained, with a suave, silky tone to the dark fruit flavors and gentle acids bringing freshness and energy. Nothing overdone here. There's impressive clarity and length to the blackberry and blackcurrant flavors. Really gorgeous. Josh Raynolds
