Château Palmer 2017, Margaux 3° Grand Cru Classé - Parker 97+
(€557.33 L)
Very serious nose of pronounced blackcurrant cordial, warm plums and blackberry, pencil shavings, violets, dark chocolate and star anise plus exotic wafts of sandalwood and cassia.
A blend of 54% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot, the deep garnet-purple coloured, 2017 Palmer gives a very serious nose of pronounced blackcurrant cordial, warm plums and blackberry preserves with hints of cedar chest, pencil shavings, violets, dark chocolate and star anise plus exotic wafts of sandalwood and cassia. Medium-bodied, the palate features fantastically vibrant, crunchy black fruits with a firm texture of ripe, grainy tannins and tons of freshness, finishing very long and mineral laced. It will need a good 5-7 years to really blossom with all those tightly wound nuances, but it should be a stunner! robertparker.com
