It reveals captivating aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, violet, cedar, graphite, truffle, and exotic spice. Silky yet immensely powerful, it offers remarkable precision, velvety tannins, exceptional freshness, and an enduring finish built for decades of aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pair with beef Wellington, roast lamb, duck breast, venison, truffle potatoes, wild mushrooms, aged Comté, or braised short ribs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_rating\"\u003e97 Points - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\" itemprop=\"author\"\u003eWine Enthusiast\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\" itemprop=\"reviewBody\"\u003eIt's easy to call this a beautiful wine—it's dense and lush, with great layers of black fruit and acidity. The first fully biodynamic vintage from this estate has certainly yielded impressive ripe fruit, with structured tannins and dark berry flavors that linger long.

A blend of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot brought up in 65% new French oak, its deep ruby\/purple-tinged color is followed by a rich, opulent bouquet of blackcurrants, black cherries, chocolate, and tobacco, with hints of graphite and background oak. With more texture and mid-palate depth than most in the vintage, this terrific 2014 is medium to full-bodied, beautifully concentrated, layered and as hedonistic and sexy as it gets in the vintage. Give bottle 4-5 years and it should drink nicely for two decades.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\" itemprop=\"reviewBody\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sr-only\" itemprop=\"reviewRating\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Rating\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\" itemprop=\"reviewBody\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"sr-only\" itemprop=\"reviewRating\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Rating\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_rating\"\u003e95 Points - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\" itemprop=\"author\"\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\" itemprop=\"reviewBody\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\" itemprop=\"author\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\" itemprop=\"reviewBody\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis really develops wonderfully in the glass starting out earthy with mushrooms and spices and then turns to dark fruit such as blackberries and blackcurrants.

It is clearly a more understated and nuanced Palmer from winemaker Thomas Duroux this year, but a Margaux with exquisite delineation and precision, hints of blackberry, boysenberry and a touch of pencil box. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin. It feels supple and lithe in the mouth. It will not have the depth and power of the subsequent 2015 Palmer, yet the \"flow\" is very sensual and the Merlot (45% of the blend) just lends it roundness and a caressing texture. What a beautiful Margaux and I bet it will be deceptively long-lived.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\" itemprop=\"reviewBody\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sr-only\" itemprop=\"reviewRating\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Rating\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\" itemprop=\"reviewBody\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sr-only\" itemprop=\"reviewRating\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Rating\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_rating\"\u003e94 Points - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\" itemprop=\"author\"\u003eWine Spectator\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\" itemprop=\"reviewBody\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\" itemprop=\"author\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\" itemprop=\"reviewBody\"\u003eThis has a fresh, energetic feel, with lots of bramble-edged grip pushing the core of raspberry, plum and cherry coulis flavors.
