Description
Fairly deep color. Another lovely, elegant Palmer nose. It offers richness, but stays pure and delicate. (There’s almost as much Merlot (44%) in the blend as Cabernet Sauvignon (51%), one reason it’s less powerful than other vintages.) The 2001 offers scents of red fruit, blackberry, sandalwood, spice, and mocha. Follows through in a similar fashion on the palate; same delicacy and precision. It’s subtle yet graceful, nicely balanced, still needing a few more years to reach peak, although it’s most of the way there. Overall, a very strong showing. Neal Martin

Tasting note
這款2001年的寶馬莊是瑪歌的經典代表，展現了該產區的優雅和細膩。這款酒體中等，紅果、黑莓、檀香、香料和摩卡的味道平衡得恰到好處。混釀中高比例的梅洛賦予了酒豐富的口感，而赤霞珠則在尾韻中帶來新鮮的提振。這款酒微妙而優雅，平衡得宜，還需要再陳幾年才能達到巔峰。這是一款有著非常強烈表現的酒。
This 2001 Chateau Palmer is a classic Margaux, showcasing the elegance and delicacy of the region. The wine is medium-bodied, with a beautiful balance of red fruit, blackberry, sandalwood, spice, and mocha flavors. The high proportion of Merlot in the blend lends richness, while the Cabernet Sauvignon provides a fresh lift at the end. The wine is subtle yet graceful, nicely balanced, and still needs a few more years to reach its peak. It's a wine that promises a very strong showing.
