The palate is rich and full-bodied, with well-structured tannins and a long, persistent finish.

The wine tastes as if you ran into the vineyard and grabbed a handful of grapes off the vine, and you ate them just moments before they were crushed. The fruit has so much purity, energy and sensuality, it is impossible not to go back to the glass for another sniff, swirl and sip. Another interesting point is the addition of a gentle chalky minerality in the finish, adding a beautiful layer to the complexity. This is easily one of the great vintages of Chateau Palmer and will age for decades with no effort. 100 Points\" \u003cstrong\u003e- \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"font-weight-bold\"\u003eJeff Leve (100\/100)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWine Enthusiast\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePowerful tannins and hugely rich fruit balance together in this superb wine.

Opaque garnet-purple colored, it slowly glides out of the glass with compelling notes of blueberry compote, warm cassis and kirsch with emerging hints of violets, cigar box, black tea, sandalwood and Sichuan pepper. Medium to full-bodied, wonderfully rich, concentrated and packed with latent energy, the palate literally grows in the mouth, revealing layer upon layer of black, blue and red fruits and tons of floral sparks, framed by super ripe, incredibly fine-grained tannins and finishing with epic length. It’s a wine that makes you wanna drape yourself languidly over a chaise lounge, glass of Palmer in hand, sighing with deep satisfaction, “This is so wonderfully Palmer.” \u003cb\u003e- Reviewed by Lisa Perrotti-Brown (98\/100)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eJancisRobinson.com\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Tasted blind.

In the heart of the Margaux appellation, 66 hectares of gravelly soil and grassy rows overlooking the Gironde estuary. Between this earth rich in ancient history, and these heavenly skies with their nurturing microclimate, vines flourish under the care of men and women. One terroir, three grape varieties: such is the horizon of Château Palmer.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e","brand":"Château Palmer","offers":[{"title":"Bottle (750 ml)","offer_id":50520021205165,"sku":"16-PALMR-PDI01RR","price":409.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/8829\/8669\/products\/Chateau_Palmer_Margaux_3rd_Grand_Cru_Classe_2016-18.jpg?v=1685647371","url":"https:\/\/symbolicwines.com\/products\/chateau-palmer-margaux-3rd-grand-cru-classe-2017","provider":"Symbolic Wines®","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
