2015 Château Palmer

Red Bordeaux Blend

Jeff Leve wrote: 100 points

May 21, 2018 - This is extraordinary. The wine is so silky, it is effortless to taste and drink. The fruits paint your palate. But the wine is light on its feet. Sensuous, sexy and racy, the fruit offers a melange of red and black cherries, plums. In the finish you find a griotte sensation that sticks with you for close to 60 seconds. This perfect mix of elegance and purity should age effortlessly for decades.

First, have you tasted 2015 Palmer? If so, what would you rate it?

Next, because you asked, out of about 17,000 tasting notes, 160 wines have hit 100 Pts IMO. If that’s too many for you, I’m sorry about that.

If you feel my ratings are not accurate or worthwhile, I’m OK with that. Do not read them.

My question to you is. They are offering a 2016 Palmer Historical XIXth Century wine. I don't see any commits on the wine. What are your thoughts?
