Château Palmer 2012 é uma mistura de Merlot (48%), Cabernet Sauvignon (46%) e Petit Verdot (6%). Os Merlots, ricos e exuberantes, recordam as muito boas colheitas do final desta primeira década dos anos 2000. Os Cabernet Sauvignon são rectos e precisos como os da vindima de 2008. Esta associação atípica realça harmoniosamente a suavidade, delicadeza e subtileza dos vinhos de Château Palmer. A maturidade desta vindima é esperada entre 2022 e 2040.
Château Palmer is one of the vintage's superstars. Opaque purple, with a gorgeous nose of blueberry, blackberry fruit, licorice, incense and graphite, the wine has a multi-dimensional, skyscraper-like richness, stunningly well-integrated acidity, tannin, wood, and alcohol, a finish of close to 45 seconds and a full-bodied mouthfeel. This is a great wine from Margaux in 2012 and one of the vintage's most remarkable efforts. Anticipated maturity: 2022-2040+. The final blend was 48% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot.
