Palmer 2005

Chateau Palmer despite its third growth status is considered one of the top producers in all of Bordeaux.  The wines from the Margaux appellation are consistently rated as highly as most of the first growths.

Review

"Enticing ruby red body, with aromatics that show a touch of orange zest and turmeric spice. The fruit is creamy, intense, a brilliant Palmer that has finesse and balance but a serious kick. Black pepper, cinnamon, raspberry, bilberry fruits, smoked earth and campfire on the finish, so juicy, totally salivating with a slate-textured close of play." - 100pts, Jane Anson
