Merchant's description

Palmer 2004 is a mature Bordeaux blend from the Margaux appellation, composed of 47% Merlot, 48% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. The wine presents a deep colour indicative of its richness. On the nose, it features notes of dark fruits and subtle herbal undertones. Château Palmer, established in 1740, is renowned for its biodynamic practices and careful vineyard management. The estate`s gravelly soils contribute to the wine’s structure and complexity. This vintage is designed for cellaring, promising longevity and evolution over the next two decades.
