Château Palmer 2008
Cantenac (Margaux), 3ème cru classé
In original wooden case
Tasting note: A stunning success for the vintage, and possibly the Margaux of the year, this wine, which achieved 13.5 natural alcohol, is a blend of 51% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Petit Verdot. Loads of barbecue smoke, liquorice, incense, blackberry, new saddle leather and forest floor notes jump from the glass of this dense, purple-coloured wine. Extraordinarily intense and full-bodied, with plenty of tannin, but not the formidable structure of the 2010, this is going to be one of the longest-lived wines of 2008. It is full, rich, layered, and should be reasonably approachable with 3-4 years of bottle age, and will also keep for 30+ years. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #194 May 2011
