Château Palmer 2001
Cantenac (Margaux), 3ème cru classé
In original wooden case
Tasting note: Medium-garnet colour. The nose is still very youthful with notes of ripe cassis, dark cherries, cloves, graphite, a touch of cedar and a little mint. The medium bodied, well structured palate gives medium-firm tannins, medium+ acidity with a good balance of plump, spicy fruit. The oak needs a little more time to marry and tannins are a little on the firm side but otherwise approachable now. Long finish. Drink now 2025. Tasted February 2009. eRobertParker
