Château Palmer
3ème Grand Cru Classé, Margaux, 1970

 

Margaux

Price on Application

750ml

"A very magnificent wine with much more fruit and charm than many 1970 bordeaux. Real life and luxuriousness of lacy texture. Very complete. More solid and substantial than the 1975, and purer too. Very sweet and smooth even at 36 years old and far from decrepit. A fine representative of both vintage and commune."

Jancis Robinson 18.5/20 points.
