" Beautiful and somber purple color. Very generous, the nose exposes(explains) widely notes of perfectly mature black fruits, crystallized citrus fruits, violet, mint, cedar, musk and gingerbread.
Everything fills(blocks) participle in the satisfaction: the sweetness of the fruit, the softness of tannins, the constant freshness. The wine gives itself and hides sensually the palace. He(it) also charms by the order of things and one spectacular finale by his(its) length and his(its) exotic, spicy, almost oriental aromas.
Beyond 2025, this warm wine will taste(savour) with so much pleasure. "
A beauty. Seductive, with currant, berry, tobacco, cedar and flowers on the nose. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, caressing finish. A joyous Palmer.
Fairly deep and intense, with rich 'tears' or 'legs' ; nose as 'cheesy', rich, chocolaty; 'incredibly sweet' on the palate, lots of fruit, spice - lovely to drink by itself.
