PAMES-A1998
Chateau Palmer
1998 (750ml)
✦ Many said the Chateaux's consistent quality rivals that of the First Growths. Despite being a designated third-growth in the 1855 Classification, it is one of the so-called "Super Seconds"
✦ Château Palmer is often touted as the only wine to rival Château Margaux within the commune of Margaux
✦ Robert Parker once commented "Palmer can be as profound as many First Growths... The style of Palmer is one of sensational fragrance and bouquet, so much so that great vintages can be identified in blind tastings by their smell alone
