Stephen Brook once wrote, “If no one disputes that the finest property in Margaux is Château Margaux, it would also be widely accepted that the second in line is Palmer.” I agree.

The 2015 Palmer is a near-perfect wine. Still young, with vibrant color and fruit-forward aromas. It opens with a lovely floral perfume and develops into layers of spice, herbs, strawberries, and blueberries. Structured with fine tannins, balanced acidity, and a very long finish. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot.
