In keeping with the Margaux terroir generally, and the Palmer house style in particular, this classic vintage produced a wine which was approachable relatiively young, while with the potential to age magnificently. Expect seamless silkiness of texture, with persistent cassis and plum fruit, maturing to fig and prune, and then the inimitable peacock's tail for which wine from this hallowed address is so desired: a panoply of baking spices, frankincense, Cuban cigars and other intriguing nuances. This is made mainly from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot playing an important supporting role.

Press Review
97/100 - Tasted at the Château Palmer vertical in London, the 2005 Château Palmer is a legend in the making. Apparently the vines received 57% less rain than average, yet the 2005 shrugs off any water deficiency and has nurtured a wondrously pixelated bouquet, whereby mineralité shines through the black cherry and blueberry fruit. Search deeper and you discover veins of graphite that impart a Pauillac-like allure. The palate is medium-bodied and intense, but it is not overwhelming, a Margaux that is galvanized with a firm backbone thereby ensuring this will age over the long term. The symmetry here is enthralling - a 2005 that is destined for greatness. The only question is whether it will surpass the 2009 or 2010 Palmer? It will be fun finding out. Drink 2022-2050
