The 2006 Palmer Margaux 750 ml is from the Margaux region of Bordeaux.
Fairly deep color. Lovely, graceful nose featuring red fruits and blackberries. Additional notes include violet, tobacco, wood, and mint. Big, tannic, youthful wine on the palate. The wonderful perfectly ripe, fresh fruit flavors come through. Still, the 2006 never really opened up beyond giving us clues of what is to come. Must be cellared for at least five more years – preferably more. - RP (5/2011)
WS 93 (5/2009): Coffee, plum and spices on the nose follow through to a full body, with lovely fruit and a soft, silky-textured finish. Very balanced and beautiful, with lots of violet, new wood and richness. Long. Needs time. Best after 2015.
IWC 92 (6/2009): Deep red-ruby. Aromas of blackberry, licorice, minerals, flowers and peat, with some chocolatey oak emerging with air. Juicy and silky on the palate, with lovely clarity and inner-mouth perfume to its flavors of black fruits, minerals and iris. Finishes long and firmly structured, with intriguing soil tones and lovely floral lift. Classic medium-bodied claret.
