Château Palmer

Rich and bold, the wine is dark maroon. It’s not shy, with big blackcurrant fruit. There is an energy on the mid-palate, real vitality. It finishes with silky fruit and grippy tannins.

Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon 60%, Merlot 30%, Petit Verdot 3% and Cabernet Franc 7%.

The wine is a deep, dazzling purple. Initially rather closed, the nose opens with airing to reveal elegant fresh fruit, blackcurrant bud and eucalyptus aromas. A fresh, clean attack leads into a full, powerful and silky mid-palate, building to an incredibly long finish on notes of brioche and liquorice. An intense and stylish vintage to come back to in a few years’ time.

Deep and bright in colour, with pleasant aromas of ripe red berries. On the palate it is smooth and silky with well-balanced tannins. The finish is long and lingering.

Deep black cherry and cassis aromas blend the power of Merlot with the elegance of Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc. A ripe blackcurrant density dominates gorgeously-textured palate whilst the succulent tannins melt towards the finish. This is precise and fine, all the elements balanced perfectly within a framework of elegance. This has a really fine richness. Focused, with a depth of fruit and tannin, this is so well balanced. An absolutely tremendous finish.

Blend: 50% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc

Thrilling notes of pure crème de cassis, lead pencil shavings, crushed mint, graphite, and crushed rock notes all emerge from this deep, powerful, yet elegant Pauillac. The style of this wine has become more and more finesse-driven and pure, yet it hasn’t lost a beat on concentration or length.
