{"product_id":"2022-chateau-palmer-margaux-bottle-750ml","title":"2022 Chateau Palmer, Margaux, Bottle (750ml)","description":"AG98\"The 2022 Palmer is all class. Blackberry, mocha, spice, leather and espresso all meld together in a seamless, elegant Palmer that impresses with its sublime balance. All the elements are impeccably put together throughout. The only thing this is missing is perhaps a touch more energy. Even so, the 2022 is an exceptional Palmer. Yields were a minuscule 22 hectoliters per hectare. Small berries yielded a deep wine that needs time to fully emerge. As has been the case for a few years now, both Palmer and Alter Ego spend a year in small barrel and a second year in wood, a majority of that (65%) in cask.\" AG for VM Jan 2025\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJS98 \"Lots of creme de cassis with cedar, dried flowers, blackberries and dark cherries. Opulent and flamboyant. Full-bodied and layered, this grows with plush, velvety tannins that caress every inch of your palate. Extremely long and attractive in the finish. Well-designed in this ripe year. 51% merlot, 45% cabernet sauvignon, and 4% petit verdot. Best after 2029.\" JS Jan 2025\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRP97 \"Thomas Duroux and his team opted to wait to pick the 2022 Palmer in pursuit of full maturity, taking advantage of the resilience of the estate's terroirs, and they have followed up with a brilliantly executed élevage that has retained pure, vivid flavors despite the wine's ripeness and unctuosity. Bursting with aromas of blackberries, crème de cassis, mulberries and violets, it's full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, with a sumptuous core of rich, fleshy fruit framed by sweet, powdery tannins, taking on more and more floral nuances as it sits in the glass. This is one of the Médoc's most sensual wines this year.\" WK for TWA Mar 2025\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLP97 \"The grand vin of Palmer is 45% Merlot, 51% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot, and the yield was tiny this year, just 22 hl\/ha. This takes just over 70% of the crop, and the élevage was in 50% new barrels for the first year, in foudre for the second year. The aromatics present dark, concentrated but not dried fruits, with some rose-petal freshness, tinged with little veins of smoke, dark chocolate and liquorice. This translates onto a delightful palate, immediately defined and controlled, with a sinewy and savoury substance, slowly filling out in the middle with the generosity of the vintage, all dark berries, chocolate, smoke, leather and tar, supported by a finely knapped bed of tannins which wrap up the palate in a smoky, fresh, finely grained frame, and which persist into the finish with an electric energy. A great Palmer here, with density, form and panache, giving it super potential. The alcohol on the label is 14.5%.\" CK for TWI Jun 2025","brand":"Palmer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49666360410349,"sku":"BDX:PAL:PALM-0750-2022-F0L0C0","price":339.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0319\/8592\/6203\/files\/BDXPALPALM-0750-2022-F0L0C0.jpg?v=1774636322","url":"https:\/\/grandcruliquidassets.com\/products\/2022-chateau-palmer-margaux-bottle-750ml","provider":"Grand Cru Liquid Assets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
