2005 Chateau Palmer
Country:Ā France
Region: Bordeaux - Margaux
Vintage:Ā 2005
CĆ©page: Cabernet Sauvignon (53%); Merlot (30%); Petit Verdot (7%)

" The 2005 ChĆ¢teau Palmer is utterly brilliant, and it will be interesting to compare this to the 2009 over the coming two decades. Still vivid ruby/plum-hued, it has a beautiful nose of ripe blueberries and darker cherries that give way to more violets, smoked tobacco, spice, and flowery incense-like nuances. It's beautifully textured, utterly seamless, has full-bodied richness, and flawless tannins. It's drinking spectacularly well today (this bottle had been decanted for three hours) yet will evolve gracefully over the coming two decades."
