1996 Chateau Palmer, Margaux, France
Regular price $358.00
If you're a Bordeaux lover, you already know Palmer is the super 2nd of all super 2nd wines — one of those iconic labels that never disappoints. I’ve never met a collector who didn’t adore the smooth elegance and complexity that Palmer brings to the table.
And let me tell you, the 1996 vintage is drinking beautifully right now — perfectly aged with all the structure and refinement you'd expect from this legendary year.
Tasting notes:
Expect layers of rich blackcurrant, dark cherry, and plum with hints of tobacco, cedar, and just a whisper of leather. The tannins are silky smooth, and the finish? Long, lingering, and oh-so-satisfying. This is the kind of wine that makes you pause, smile, and say, "Damn, that's good."
