Description
By Robert Parker in 2015 (RP98)
Its bigger sister, the 2005 Château Palmer (53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 7% Petit Verdot), is one of the great efforts of this superlative vintage. Floral notes mixed with blackberry, cassis, plum, licorice and spring flowers soar from the glass of this dense ruby/purple wine. It is medium to full-bodied, surprisingly opulent (it has a big percentage of Merlot), long, multi-dimensional and textured. This wonderfully pure, stunning wine once again performs as a first-growth.
By Decanter (JA96)
One of the most famed estates of Margaux, only behind Château Margaux itself. The estate is a 3ème Cru Classé but has long been considered a supersecond. The estate is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon 55%, Merlot 40%, Cabernet Franc 5% – with the high proportion of Merlot setting it apart from many left bank properties. Strong cloves on the nose, this remains very young at 10 years old, but has the heady perfume that makes Palmer such a distinctive and beguiling wine. A hefty wine, ambitious and muscular. Notes of incense and damsons. You have to sit with the glass, let it unfurl on your tongue, needs food if you are drinking soon. Showcases the power of 2005, and its success.
