Tasting notes for Château Palmer 1996
To the eye – A garnet red robe with tawny reflections, dense and luminous, revealing a velvety texture and a generous substance.
On the nose – A bouquet where aromas of wild blackberry, faded violet and blonde tobacco mingle, lifted by a subtle touch of vanilla and a saline note, like an echo of the Médoc gravels.
On the palate – A fleshy and silky attack, carried by a lively acidity and a fine tannic framework, where notes of candied dark fruits, truffle and soft spices unfold, leading to a long and mineral finish of persistent elegance.
Serve between 16 and 18°C in a Bordeaux glass to release its full complexity.
