Tasting Notes

The tasty 2004 Alter Ego may turn out to be outstanding. This brilliant effort boasts a deep ruby/purple color as well as abundant amounts of black currant, chocolate, licorice, and espresso characteristics. Lush, heady, and ripe, it will provide lovely drinking over the next decade.

88/90
Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (165), June 2006

A lovely, silky wine with blackberry and cherry and hints of cassis. Medium- to full-bodied, with good tannins and freshness

85/88
