Château Palmer 2016
Margaux - 3ème Grand Cru Classé
98+/100 Parker
Cellaring : 2024 - 2060
By Lisa Perrotti-Brown in 2018: "The 2016 Palmer is a blend of 47% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot. Opaque garnet-purple in color, it slowly glides out of the glass with compelling notes of blueberry compote, warm cassis, and kirsch with emerging nuances of violets, cigar box, black tea, sandalwood, and Sichuan pepper. Medium to full-bodied, wonderfully rich, concentrated and packed with latent energy, the palate literally grows in the mouth, revealing layer upon layer of black, blue and red fruits and tons of floral sparks, framed by super ripe and incredibly fine tannins and finishing with epic length. This is a wine that makes you want to lie languidly in a recliner with a glass of Palmer in hand, sighing with deep satisfaction, "This is so wonderfully Palmer."
