The 2020 Chateau Palmer Margaux is a blend of 48% Merlot, 48% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot and has a deep garnet purple color. The 2020 Palmer has a very serious nose of pronounced savory black currants, warm plums and blackberries with hints of cedar chest, pencil shavings, violets, dark chocolate and star anise plus exotic notes of sandalwood. Medium bodied, the palate is fantastically vibrant, crisp black fruit with a firm texture of ripe, grainy tannins and tons of freshness, very long and mineral finish. It needs at least 5-7 years to really bloom, but then it's gone with a bang. The storage potential is also great up to 2060+
