Alter Ego 2001


Score: 12/20 concluded by my actual tasting notes.
Nose: Lots of force with creme de casis, tosty oak, undertone of cedar, faint of smoking tar.
Palate: (attack) Opulent black fruits (mid-palate) powerful ripe fruits with good deal of acidity. Lacks of grip, not much tannins. Disappointing from mid palate onward. Start to show weakness.
Texture: good mouth feel but lacks backbone.
Finish: short

Alter Ego 2004

Score: 15.25/20 concluded by my actual tasting notes.
Nose: Quite earthy, cedar, dried plum & clove.
Palate: (attack) surprisingly well balance, vibrant fruits (mid-palate) good amount of Tannins & well tuned acidity. Blackberries and minerals mingle around. Looking for more depth, though.
Texture: well integrated Tannins. elegant.
Finish: excellent balance with decent finish. I couldn’t expect more since its a 2nd label.
