Château Palmer 2010 is a mature Merlot-based red wine from the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux. Château Palmer is a Third Growth Margaux estate with a history stretching back to the 17th century. Today the estate covers approximately 52 hectares and is managed by Thomas Duroux. The 2010 from Palmer was a standout vintage, with the grand vin made up of 54% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot. "A purity of fruit here with plum and dark chocolate undertones. Spices and treacle tart as well. Full body, with ultra-fine tannins and a long, long finish. Very fine indeed. Fit, fruity and reserved. Superb." James Suckling, 2013
