Château Palmer--Vintage 2002
Cantenac (Margaux), 3me cru classé
Tasting note: A successful wine for the vintage, this blend of 52 Cabernet Sauvignon, 40 Merlot, and 8 Petit Verdot boasts complex notes of menthol, black currants, plums, liquorice, and a hint of cappuccino in its stunning aromatics. Dense, medium to full-bodied, with high levels of tannin in a big, full-bodied style (much in the spirit of such classic Bordeaux vintages as 1966, 1986, and 1996), this wine possesses superb purity and serious length, but should be purchased only by those with considerable patience and a good, cold cellar, since it will need plenty of time. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2028. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 158 Apr 2005
