Product Info

100 poena - Wine Enthusiast

Château Palmer je jedno od najcjenjenijih imanja u Margauxu, često smatrano vinom na nivou Premier Cru, poznato po savršenom spoju snage, elegancije i aromatske kompleksnosti. Berba 2016, jedna od referentnih godina u Bordeauxu, donosi izuzetnu preciznost, strukturu i veliki potencijal za odležavanje, uz blend koji često daje značajnu ulogu Merlotu, uz Cabernet Sauvignon i Petit Verdot.

U čaši se pokazuje duboka rubin crvena boja sa živim ljubičastim odsjajem. Na nosu je intenzivno i vrlo precizno, sa aromama crne ribizle, kupine i tamne trešnje, uz slojeve ljubičice, grafita, kedra i suptilnih začina. Na nepcu je punog tijela i besprijekorno izbalansirano, sa finim, precizno definisanim taninima i svježom kisjelinom; voće je koncentrisano, ali čisto i elegantno, a završnica duga, strukturirana i izrazito postojana, sa velikom dubinom i elegancijom.

100 points - Wine Enthusiast

Château Palmer is one of the most celebrated estates in Margaux, widely regarded as performing at First Growth level, known for its seamless combination of power, finesse, and aromatic complexity. The 2016 vintage, one of Bordeaux’s benchmark years, delivers exceptional precision, structure, and ageing potential, with a blend typically favouring Merlot alongside Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.

In the glass, it shows a deep ruby colour with vibrant violet reflections. The nose is intense and finely detailed, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry, layered with violet, graphite, cedar, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and impeccably balanced, with refined, finely grained tannins and fresh acidity; the fruit is concentrated yet pure, leading to a long, structured finish with remarkable depth, elegance, and persistence.
