I am breathless with the dark-berry, lavender and burnt- orange aromas. Some salt. Just so formidable and deep. Stunningly sexy on the palate with a density and power, yet it leaves things so clean and bright. You want to drink it and enjoy it now, but it has the structure to last forever. Drink in 2022.

Chateau Palmer

Chateau Palmer, designated third-growth in the 1855 Classification, is one of the so-called ‘super seconds’, those Chateaux whose consistent quality is said by many to rival that of the first-growths. Indeed, Palmer has long priced its wines on the second tier, offering a modest discount to the premium charged by the firsts. There is no question that, in certain years, Palmer most certainly achieves a similar level of quality to the benchmark level of the first growths. Particularly in the great Bordeaux vintages, Palmer produces wines little short of sublime. In years such as 1961, 1966, 1989, 2005, 2009, 2010, 2016 and 2018 as well as less-renowned vintages like 1983 and 2012, Palmer has produced wines easily the qualitative peer of its superiors. Chateau Palmer, which lies in the commune of Cantenac, has 52 hectares of vines planted to equal parts (47%) Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with 6% Petit Verdot making the balance. Whilst such a high proportion of Merlot is unusual on the left bank – and indeed, Palmer has the most of any classified growth – half a century ago it used to be even higher, around 60% of total plantings.
