    Product description

    Château Palmer was established in the first half of the nineteenth century by the English general, Charles Palmer. Although the estate was classified as a third growth in 1855 it is considered as a second nowadays.

    Deep with intense aromas of blueberry, blackberry, liquorice and mineral notes. Very complex and rich on the palate with well integrated tannins and an amazing length.

    A wine with currants and mineral character on the nose and palate. It's full-bodied, with silky, polished tannins and a long finish. Very tight and refined now. Tannic. Palmer only made 20 hectoliters of wine a hectare. Like a tightly wound ball of cashmere thread. Try in 2020.
