Château Palmer 3ème Cru Classé 2005 is an iconic red wine from Margaux in Bordeaux, France, which combines depth, elegance and great complexity in a classic and exclusive expression. The 2005 vintage is considered one of the great Bordeaux vintages, and Château Palmer here demonstrates its particular talent for creating wines with both intensity, silky structure and a remarkable finesse, which makes the wine truly special.

On the nose, the wine opens with nuances of blackcurrant, black cherry and dark plum, beautifully complemented by violet, cedarwood, tobacco, truffle and fine spicy undertones. The aromatic profile is both deep, sophisticated and harmonious with a beautiful balance between ripe fruit and classic Margaux elegance. The taste is full-bodied, concentrated and refined with silky tannins, fresh acidity and a long, persistent aftertaste, where dark fruit, spice and minerality elegantly blend together. The result is a wine with both power, precision and an impressive length.

Château Palmer 2005 pairs particularly well with beef, lamb, game, duck, braised dishes and mature cheeses. It is a wine for those who seek a great and age-worthy Bordeaux with depth, complexity and timeless French elegance. An obvious bottle for special dinners, collectors or wine lovers who want a classic Margaux with character, finesse and great personality.

Tasted at the Château Palmer vertical in London, the 2005 Château Palmer is a legend in the making. Apparently the vines received 57% less rain than average, yet the 2005 shrugs off any water deficiency and has nurtured a wondrously pixelated bouquet, whereby mineralité shines through the black cherry and blueberry fruit. Search deeper and you discover veins of graphite that impart a Pauillac-like allure. The palate is medium-bodied and intense, but it is not overwhelming, a Margaux that is galvanized with a firm backbone thereby ensuring this will age over the long term. The symmetry here is enthralling - a 2005 that is destined for greatness. The only question is whether it will surpass the 2009 or 2010 Palmer? It will be fun finding out. Tasted May 2015.

Enticing ruby red body, with aromatics that show a touch of orange zest and turmeric spice. The fruit is creamy, intense, a brilliant Palmer that has finesse and balance but a serious kick. Black pepper, cinnamon, raspberry, bilberry fruits, smoked earth and campfire on the finish, so juicy, totally salivating with a slate-textured close of play. Delicious, and a great sign that the 2005 vintage is starting to swing open. Harvest September 22 to October 7, 60% new oak. A long dry summer, with 57% less rainfall than usual, although temperatures never climbed as high as in 2003. Impossible to stop smiling after this.

Aromas of black tar, chocolate, and berries lead to a wine so effortlessly delicious that it's easy to forget the power the Merlot gives it. The center is round but dark, filled with sweetness; the outer layers are full of red jelly and toast. There are tannins, but they, too, are sweet.

Strong ruby with purple reflections and subtle rim brightening. Fine balsamic nuances, tobacco, a touch of violets, nuances of blackberry, subtle hints of black truffle. Powerful, juicy, fine cherry, firm tannins, pronounced in fruit on the finish, fine acidity, delicate nougat, good minerality, a touch of Valrhôna chocolate on the finish.(Drink/store +30)

About the grape

Rød Bordeaux Blend

Rød Bordeaux Blend er en kombination af de druesorter, der traditionelt bruges til Bordeaux' berømte rødvine. Det er ikke en officiel betegnelse, men en praktisk måde at tale om en vinsstil, der nu dyrkes over hele verden – fra Californien til Australien, Sydafrika til Chile.

Essensen er fleksibilitet: typisk en blend af Cabernet Sauvignon og Merlot, ofte suppleret med Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot og Malbec. Hver drue tilfører noget unikt – struktur, frugt, krydderier eller blødhed.

Rød Bordeaux Blend er for dig, der søger kraftfuld struktur og dybe smagsnuancer. Det er vine med personlighed – nogle kan nydes straks, andre udvikler sig smukt gennem årene. Her får du en vinsstil med historisk fundament, der stadig inspirerer vinmagere verden over.

Serving

Rød Bordeaux Blend serveres bedst ved 16-18°C, hvor vinens frugt, struktur og kompleksitet står skarpest. Serveres den for varm, kan alkoholen virke mere dominerende, mens for lav temperatur dæmper aromaerne. Bordeaux anbefaler selv 16-18°C til strukturerede og lagringsværdige rødvine.
