2009 Château Palmer, Cru Classé Margaux, Magnum (1.5L)

"Deep garnet colored, the 2009 Palmer delivers a beguiling array of black fruit warm plums, cassis and black cherry compote-with kirsch and wild sage sparks plus profound suggestions of fragrant earth, black truffles, iron ore and liquid licorice. Full-bodied, rich and decadently seductive in the mouth, the generous fruit is superbly framed with plush tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and mineral laced." 98 points, The wine Advocate
