Chateau Palmer

Notes - Château Palmer's finesse and elegance are legendary, and its aromatic complexity is every bit as remarkable. The subtle balance between powerful, but understated tannins and aromatic richness makes Palmer an incomparably charming wine, even when very young. The combination of grape varieties (equal amounts of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon as well as 6% Petit Verdot) gives Château Palmer an extraordinarily complex bouquet of fruit, flowers, and spice as well as body and structure. Long barrel ageing is essential for Château Palmer to reflect its gravelly terroir's potential, and display volume and richness. Château Notes, January 2nd 2006 - The colour is still deep and the bouquet is becoming increasingly elegant and refined. Subtle floral aromas are accompanied by hints of wild strawberries, menthol, and even camphor. The flavour features spicy notes (pink peppercorns), as well as liquorice and tobacco. 1998 Palmer is pleasantly fresh and well-balanced on the palate. The finely-textured tannins have softened nicely, and this wine is quite exquisite.
