Château Palmer 2012 es una mezcla de Merlot (48%), Cabernet Sauvignon (46%) y Petit Verdot (6%). Los ricos y exuberantes Merlots recuerdan las finísimas cosechas de finales de esa primera década del 2000. El Cabernet Sauvignon es recto y preciso como los de la cosecha 2008. Esta asociación atípica resalta armoniosamente la suavidad, delicadeza y sutileza de los vinos de Château Palmer. La madurez de esta cosecha se espera entre 2022 y 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.
