=====================

2020 Chateau Palmer shows the hallmark balance and silk of its terroir. Aromas open to intense black fruits - cassis, black cherry and ripe plum -  layered with violets, cedar, graphite and subtle black-truffle earthiness. On the palate it is powerful yet refined: dense, polished fruit wrapped in silky, well-integrated tannins and bright mineral verve that keeps the wine focused. The oak is beautifully melded after élevage in large foudres and barrels, producing a long, savoury finish.
