Christmas Wine: Chateau Palmer 2001
Margaux, France
Merlot 44% Cabernet Sauvignon 51% Petit Verdot 5%
Tasting Notes:
Stunning deep ruby; introverted nose at first instance and slowly opens up revealing various wood and spice aromas with hints of ripe black fruits and mocha; on the palate the fruit is exquisite, with hints of herbs and tobacco, the tanks are subtle; good structure, well balanced and mellow long finish.

4 年Good (personal ?? ) choice of Bordeaux Cru, Liz. Would it be good to make the day to day Palmer's house wine? Cheers

4 年If you want to continue the theme Liz you should try Charles Palmer Pinot Noir 2018, whilst not from Bordeaux nor from France, it shares many similarities to a Red Burgundy.
