1995 Chateau Palmer

"The wild strawberry sweetness and curling floral aromatics of a great older Margaux are creeping in at this point, along with clear white pepper spice, iris flowers and gentle black truffles. This was the first vintage to be produced in the new cellars, so going from old wooden vats to temperature-controlled stainless steel. Also the last vintage of the famous Chardron brothers, who had worked as cellar master and vineyard master for decades, so it really marked the end of one era and the beginning of another. There is a clear, quiet beauty to this wine." 97/100 - Decanter
