5/4/2024 - Jeff Leve wrote: 93 pointsTobacco, cedar, savory herbs, flowers, currants, cocoa, spice, and licorice pop without asking in the nose. On the palate, the wine is even better. Medium-bodied, racy, fresh, vibrant, and also loaded with fresh, vivid, black, red, and blue fruits, spice, mint, and dark chocolate. The end note lingers with the perfect blend of refreshing acidities, and lush, silky, velvety fruits. The wine is a blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot. 13.9% ABV, 3.75 pH. Drink from 2028-2043. 92-94 Pts. |

4/3/2024 - Bubblesearcher23 wrote: 91 pointsInky purple dark color. Nose is red and black fruits, florals, vanilla, lacking some complexity. With some air, the medium-bodied palate is mellow, with maraschino cherry or kirsch, ripe red fruit, vanilla, earthy greens, a hint of spice. Well balanced, but tannins are there for a long stay in the cellar. Neither the nose nor the palate are particularly well defined, but I think this could be superb in a few years. A bit lighter than other Bordeaux I've enjoyed, can't decide if I like that or not. Very drinkable now. |

3/26/2024 - KAT9 Likes this wine: 92 pointsUpon opening, there is a lot of black and red fruits on the nose, a hint of dust and earthy. Acidity is high, but relatively balanced. 14% alc. Slight savory on the palate. Compare to d’issan, Malescot, brane Cantenac, not good value. |

3/24/2024 - PSPatrick wrote: 92 pointsHalf-bottle. 14% ABV. Decanted for three hours. Dark ruby colour, some sediment. Violets, ripe dark and red fruit, black currant, blackberry , dark plum, cherry, wood, espresso, cocoa, tobacco, graphite, spices, coconut, and vanilla, with medium-low acidity, ripe, round tannin, and very good length. Full-bodied and creamy, with good concentration. Ripe, plush, and broad. Modern and accessible, more Napa than Margaux, yet balanced in the context of its ripe and full style. Drink or hold. |

3/22/2024 - andrewfowler wrote: 90 pointsJawdroppingly beautiful in color, a wine-dark sea if ever there was one. Fruit-forward, leading with cherry followed by vanilla... honestly this still seems way too damn young. Some classic Margaux violet, a bit of tobacco leaf, tannins on the softer side. There's hella concentration, but this is just too brash for me. I trusted a highly-regarded wine bar with their decision to start serving this already, but for now, it wasn't quite for me. Perhaps in a few years it will be a wonder, and perhaps if you like wines this big and this concentrated more than me, you'll love it. Even though this wasn't my favorite, I'm giving serious bonus points for craftsmanship. |

3/17/2024 - Nutty08 Likes this wine: 92 pointsSplash decanted and was pretty open from the beginning. Dark card of back cherry fruit with some mild cedar spice. Structure is rather mild structure at this point. Has some slightly high toned fruit and hints of overripeness but seems to keep things in balance. Drinking well now but will continue to age. |

3/10/2024 - Sun_Ship Likes this wine: 92 pointsVivid notes of violets, creamy cassis and graphite are joined by blonde tobacco and a touch of barrel spice. The creamy mouthfeel is supported by polished tannins and bags of sweet red fruit and black pastille. A lick of spice on the slightly limited finish. With venison haunch, baby carrots and stuffed portobello mushroom. |

3/9/2024 - Jeff Leve wrote: 93 pointsCrushed stones, flowers, red with black cherries and a marine influence sets the tone in the perfume. On the palate, the medium-bodied wine is soft, silky, and vibrant, making the perfect backdrop for all of the wines sweet, ripe plums, mint and spice notes in the refined finish. The wine is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot and 8% Petit Verdot, making this the highest percentage of Cabernet ever used in any vintage of Alter Ego. Drink from 2025-2040. |

3/2/2024 - Rich S Likes this wine: 92 pointsPopped and poured. Dark garnet color. Nose of blackberry, cassis, slightly herbal, a touch of vanilla and dark chocolate coming through from the oak. Very nice. Similar flavors on the palate with dark black fruits, cedar, some slightly earthy undertones but still more primary and fruit driven at this point. Medium acidity and tannin. Smooth mouthfeel and finish. Delicious, balanced Bordeaux. Good now but room to grow. |

2/17/2024 - Zweder Likes this wine: 93 pointsAn easy afternoon with close friends; Bordeaux 2015 (@ FD): The bouquet is still a bit reticent, but shows beautifully round and elegant red berries. On the palate dark berries, graphite, cedar, oak, soft and slightly sweet licorice, beautiful acidity and round tannin. Good length, silky soft and delicious. Young maturity stage now when given a few hours of air time. (92 - 93+) |

2/17/2024 - Mikeiza wrote: 86 pointsNot the best year for this wine, a little more acidity that it should have, right after opening the bottle it was very strong, we had to wait more than an hour and decanted the wine to have a better feeling and more balanced taste. Hoping to taste another vintages and compare. |
