Château Palmer 2012 – Margaux, 3ème Grand Cru Classé

The nose is fruity, fine, gourmand, precise, fresh and offers a certain richness. It reveals notes of blackberry, wild black berries and touches of ripe red fruit associated with slight notes of blueberry, liquorice, toasted oak as well as slight notes of caramelization and a hint of almond. The palate is fruity, fine, fluid, gourmand, suave, deep and offers a very beautiful unctuosity, purity, righteousness, a fine tension, an acid frame (on red fruits), a beautiful finesse and a beautiful matter. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of blackberry, cassis and slight notes of crushed strawberry combined with hints of oak as well as slight notes of cocoa, chocolate, caramelization and slight / discreet hints of grilled almond. Tannins are fine and well-built. Good length and persistence. A (very) beautiful and well-made wine!
