"This spectacular offering should continue to improve.. Stunningly rich and powerful the dark purple-tinged 2005 Palmer is a blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon 40% Merlot and 7% Petit Verdot. Aromas of incense burning embers black currants plums licorice and flowers are followed by a full-bodied Margaux ...The abundant acidity and tannins are beautifully coated by the wine's exceptional fruit extract and overall harmony and richness. It is so concentrated that one is hard pressed to find even a hint of new oak. Drink 2017-2045+." 97 Points Wine Advocate
