Château Palmer Margaux 1855 3ième Cru 2007

White pepper, raspberry leaf, dancing minerality, fine-boned tannins, rosebud and peony aromatics. As is often the case with the 2007 vintage, the less dense fruit means that a smokey, grilled character is emphasised, which makes this an extremely appealing wine that is ready to drink now, and will give a ton of enjoyment over the next few years, but is less for the long term than many of the vintages in this vertical. Harvest September 20 to October 2, 60% new oak.
