In its depth and intensity, the robe of Chteau Palmer 2019 recalls the purple of Tyre. From the first aromas escaping the glass we are captivated: notes of black fruits and the most precious spices mingle in a bouquet of extraordinary complexity that will continue to reveal itself over time. The texture lives up to the Crus reputation: an endless carnal sensation pervades our palate, revealing tannins of subtle finesse yet remarkable depth. This Chteau Palmer, anchored very deeply in its terroir, is built to defy time.

Blend: 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot

99 Points–James Suckling

So much sweet tobacco, stone, brambleberry and currant on the nose. The palate is full and compact with very polished tannins, yet they are solid and sturdy and run the length and width of the wine. Energetic acidity. Very structured and powerful, yet agile and impressive. Historic feel. From biodynamically grown grapes. This needs at least six years of bottle age to soften. Try after 2027.
