Description

Chateau Palmer 1985
Margaux
Bottle (12)


"It has an appealing bacon fact and savory bouquet - a little smudged, but full of charm. The palate is fleshy on the entry, perhaps here with a touch of brettanomyces, the acidity nicely judged with expressive Merlot defining the finish." (90 pts. Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, May 2016)

“The 1985 Palmer replicates the bottle poured at the vertical a couple of years earlier. It has a very fragrant, quintessentially Margaux-like bouquet with redcurrant, raspberry, cedar and rosemary sporting fine delineation and vigour. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. There is a brightness to this Palmer that I really appreciate, making this a less concentrated yet more transparent wine with elegance from start to finish. That tincture of Earl Grey just pops its head around the corner to say ‘Hello’ after 30 minutes. Wonderful.” (93 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, June 2025)
