2016 Palmer

The 2016 Palmer is a blend of 47% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot. Opaque garnet-purple in color, it glides slowly from the glass with compelling notes of blueberry compote, warm cassis and cherry with emerging hints of violet, cigar box, black tea, sandalwood and Sichuan pepper. Medium to full-bodied, wonderfully rich, concentrated and packed with latent energy, the palate literally grows into your mouth, revealing layer upon layer of black, blue and red fruits and tons of floral sparks, framed by super-ripe, incredibly fine-grained tannins and finishing with epic length. A wine that would make you want to loll on a chaise longue, glass of Palmer in hand, and sigh with deep satisfaction, "This is so wonderful Palmer."
