90-92 Barrel sample. The other wine produced at Château Palmer is appropriately named. While the chateau wine has the opulence, this has delicacy and a grace that is immensely attractive.

Juicy and soft, with red fruits and supple tannins. It is generous, with its jelly and berry fruits and fresh acidity. Not for aging.

88-90 Barrel sample. The second wine of Château Palmer is light, fresh and fruity, with accessible blackcurrant fruits. There is a light touch of wood, with delicious, easy juicy acidity.
