The Wine
Third-growth Margaux with the kind of structural depth that rewards a serious plate. Aged beef, lamb rack, or anything off a wood fire will give the tannin somewhere to go and let the wine settle into the meal rather than dominate it.
Worth Knowing
Alter Ego is not a leftovers wine. It comes off the same terroirs as the grand vin but is made differently, with different grape proportions, deliberately built to drink earlier.

“Cinnamon spice on the nose, with a patisserie edge to the fruits.”
