The Château Palmer 2005 is a majestic and profoundly structured wine from one of Bordeaux’s legendary vintages. The bouquet is layered and intense, offering blackcurrant, ripe plum, violet, and graphite, with notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, and subtle truffle. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and powerful, supported by firm yet impeccably refined tannins that give architectural precision. Flavors of cassis, dark cherry, cocoa, and savory mineral tones unfold with depth and continuity. Despite its concentration, freshness remains vivid, lending poise and balance. The finish is exceptionally long, resonant, and complex—an iconic Palmer built for decades of evolution and now entering a magnificent stage of maturity.
Château Palmer is one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated Third Growth estates, widely regarded as performing at “Super Second” level for its consistency, finesse, and longevity. Located in Margaux, Palmer is distinguished by an unusually high proportion of Merlot alongside Cabernet Sauvignon, which lends its wines a signature suppleness and aromatic depth. The estate farms biodynamically and places enormous emphasis on vineyard precision and parcel selection. Winemaking balances traditional methods with technical rigor, aiming for texture, harmony, and aging potential. Palmer’s style is sensual yet structured, combining Margaux perfume with serious backbone. In great vintages, it ranks among the most complete wines of the Médoc.
