PAMES-A2012
Chateau Palmer
2012 (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

➀ Tasting Notes: Aromas of cherries, blackberries, violets and spices, framed by a lavish application of creamy new oak. Full-bodied, ample and enveloping, it's fleshy and sensual, with a deep and layered core of fruit that's discreetly underpinned by succulent acids and sweet, powdery tannins. Concentrated, broad and persistent, this is one of the most successful wines of the vintage, as well as one of the most dramatic. — Robert Parker
