Chateau Palmer 1985

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (87)

This wine has consistently been attractive, elegant, and fruity, with a deep ruby color that is now revealing some amber and orange at the edge. The wine's low acidity has resulted in an up-front forwardness, but there is neither the depth nor extract one expects in a top vintage of Palmer. Nevertheless, it is a well-made, richly fruity, fragrant wine with no hard edges that is ideal for present consumption.

Winespectator (91)

Greatness in subtlety. Clearly focused black cherry and vanilla character. It's full-bodied with medium tannins and a juicy, fruity finish.
