Very polished and focused

The palate also follows the characteristics typical to Barbera with a good overall balance

Fruity nose of blackcurrant and blueberry with sage and vanilla

intense fruit is matched by well-structured tannins which have given it the ability to age into an elegant and powerful wine

at least for my personal tastes

Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou, Saint-Julien, France 2016 Chateau Palmer Very polished and focusedSuper perfumed, attractive violets with a thread of fresh blueberries, cassis, blackberries and dark plums, delivering a very enticing impression. Beautiful ripeness here. The tannins are perfectly ripe and layers meld into each other, carrying deep, graceful and plush, velvety dark fruit long into the vibrant and seductive, chocolate laced finish. Great potential. 99 Pts James Suckling
