Chateau Palmer Grand Vin de Château Palmer (Grand Cru Classé) 2016

Chateau Palmer Grand Vin de Château Palmer (Grand Cru Classé) 2016"This is a very solid rendering, with a core of steeped blackberry, black currant and fig fruit flavors that are juicy and well defined. The back end picks up lots of graphite, tobacco, anise and violet notes while maintaining focus and energy. Shows latent depth as the fruit echoes steadily. Best from 2023 through 2038." Wine Spectator

this wine is opulent

A medium-bodied style with a rich dark fruit character

and a long and warming cola

Aromatization is more assertive in Rosso and the discernible presence of soaked herbs and the perfume clearly influence its taste

The refreshing mouthfeel has a touch of sweetness

more popularly identified as mizunara oak

The wine recreates the “Original Bordeaux Blend” of the 18th and 19th Centuries

This appellation Cabernet is blended from a combination of hillside and valley floor vineyards

especially passionfruit and pineapple with subtle hints of green herbs

and completed unpeated

Makes a phenomenal Margarita

It is that time of the year when yesterday’s pale sun suddenly starts shining warm and bright
