Tasting notes
The 2011 Château Palmer is a graceful and refined expression of Margaux, admired for its finesse, elegance, and purity—particularly impressive given the challenges of the vintage. While it may lack the power of more opulent years, it more than compensates with balance, aromatic clarity, and charm.
On the palate, it is supple and approachable, with finely knit tannins and delicate layers of red and black fruit, floral notes, and subtle earthy undertones. It’s a wine that offers immediate pleasure, yet also possesses the structure and freshness to age gracefully for 15–20 years.
A testament to Palmer’s precision and philosophy, this is a thoughtful, elegant Margaux that speaks softly but with real depth.
