Château Palmer

Black raspberries, smoke, espresso, black cherries, dried flowers, and strawberries form the perfume. On the palate, the wine is soft, elegant, vibrant, and refined. The wine is light, but, not too light, with just enough depth, and concentration to provide length and width in the finish. The wine is not about its depth, it is about its purity, and refinement. The wine blends 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, with 41% Merlot. 13.2 % ABV, 3.75 pH. The yields were small at 22 hectoliters. Only 40% of the harvest was placed into the Grand Vin. The harvest took place September 25 - October 10. Drink from 2030-2050.

Deep dark ruby in colour with an opaque core, purple reflections, and subtle brightening on the rim. On the nose, a hint of incense, fine dark fruits of the forest, cassis, blueberry and cherry, with tobacco nuances, and a hint of mandarin zest. The palate is juicy, elegant and very balanced, with refined acidity, and very fine, supporting tannins, mineral, with a hint of red fruits on the persistent finish, very typical Margaux style, with assured development potential.
