Deep garnet-purple colored. Bursts with bold notes of fresh black currants, red and black plums, and mulberries, opening out to reveal an undercurrent of black pepper, iron ore, chalk dust, and fragrant earth. The light to medium-bodied palate is filled with vibrant black and red berry layers and spicy sparks, framed by firm, chalky tannins and great tension, finishing long and earthy.

by Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW

The 2023 Palmer is opaque purple-black in color. A little broody and subdued to start, notes of tar, damp soil, and crushed rocks soon give way to a core of fresh blackcurrants, wild blueberries, and Morello cherries with a touch of iron ore. The medium-bodied palate delivers bright, shimmery black and red berry flavors with a satiny texture and racy backbone, finishing on a lingering ferrous note. The blend is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot.

Dark brooding fruits, this is intense and concentrated, ripe flavours with an exotic edge, cassis, roasted plum, damson and star fruit with a curl of woodsmoke and tobacco leaf, set against fresher edges of blueberry and iris. This is serious, structured, with everything turned up pretty high, giving the imprint of the vintage in its black pepper, rosemary, turmeric, mandarin peel and clove. 3.79ph, harvest September 7 right through to October 5. Blend done by December, yield 23hl/h. Ageing sees the first year in barrel, then second year in larger sized oak casks to minimise oak impact, something that will be particularly important in a year with these unusually high alcohols.

Inside Bordeaux

Vivid ruby and violet colour, this is a brilliant wine, inky and with clear supple give to the tannins. Give it a full 8 to 10 years before drinking, and here you feel that they have sacrificed very little to the vintage, this feels entirely Palmer in character. Savoury but abundant blue and black fruits, plenty of crayon, cocoa bean and slate, with a floral prettiness and a mouthwatering finish. 27hl/h yield, harvest September 24 to October 16, 55% new oak (first year in barrel, second year in larger oak caks of 3,000l).

Depth, and nuance, with striking liqourice, crayon, cigar box and dark chocolate from the first moment. Combines grip and freshness, understated power, serious yet vivid character to its blue and black fruits, with mint leaf, spiced red pepper, pomegrante, incense and tobacco leaf. Precise, slow and seductive, packed with signature Palmer identity. 3.77ph, 55% of overall production, with 13% press wine. Thomas Duroux director.

En nese preget av mørk sødmefull frukt, hvor mørke bjørnebær og solbær er veldig fremtredende. Mørk og hvit sjokolade, eukalyptus, vanilje og trekrydder. Godt integrert sekundæraromaer. 

En smak av solmodne bjørnebær, solbær, vanilje, og lakris. God syre, med en heavy konsentrasjon. Tanninene er utrolig godt integrert, hvorav strukturen i vinen i sin helhet er spot on. Lang lengde. 

Utrolig gøy🍷🙌

A memorable vintage for both good and bad reasons, with yields that dropped down to 11h/h after mildew, but with a concentration and precision that is remarkable. This truly is a briliant wine. There are hints of dried fruit character, wrapped in the complexity of a wine stacked with cigar box, ripe berry fruit, dark chocolate, marmalade zest, turmeric and black pepper spice, layer upon layer, all served up with fresh acidites that make it moreish at the same time. Unusual, and beautiful. Harvest September 13 to October 15, 60% new oak.

Peony and rosebud aromatics on the nose, welcoming even although the austerity is clear right now. Needs another few years to soften, as has far more density than many 2017s, along with clarity of expression, sculpted blueberry and cassis fruits. Resonates through the finish and as it opens you see the smoked cedar edges and sweet liquorice root. Harvest September 20 to 29, 60% new oak.

Vi var 3 flotte karer som valgte dele denne flasken til lammecarre. 
Luftet 1 time ved første smak, full av primærfrukter. Helt nydelig. Du får lyst til å hive det inn. Vi stålsetter oss å velger spare resterende til maten. 
Ca 2 timer luft. Masse primær frukt , men nå for vær en nipp så smaker vinen mer og mer. Det er sekundære frukter i massevis. Skulle hatt 6 flasker av denne. Beste vinen jeg har smakt

Amatør

Beautifully poised, with spiced damson and raspberry fruits, higher acidity than you find in the 2015 or 2016, juicy and just about opening up to drink. Has the generous floral character of a maturing Palmer, where the peony and roses start to take off through the mid palate, hovering above the berry fruits, layering up with complexity, thoroughly enjoyable. A good 10 to 15 years ahead of pleasure. This was the 200th anniversary vintage since General Charles Palmer bought the wine estate from Madame de Gascq. Harvest September 22 to October 14, 60% new oak.

The 2013 Palmer has a medium garnet color, with a touch of brick. It features slightly tired notions of raisin cake, sweaty leather, and rusty nails, over a waft of fallen leaves and dried herbs. The medium-bodied palate is coated with spicy dried berries and herbal sparks, framed by firm, chewy tannins and finishing on a peppery note.

The annual release of 10 year old Château Palmer, and this time it's an often-underrated but delicious vintage that sits in the shadow of the most prestigious years of the last decade. Proof of how slowly this wine ages, it is packed with blueberry and cassis fruits, a shot of mint leaf, mandarin peel, sage and dark chocolate, with shoulders and a serious architecture, bigger than you might expect for a vintage with such an easy-drinking, gourmet reputation. I last tasted this vintage around eight months ago and it has opened up further since then, often the case as wines shift around the decade mark, and this is an upscore. A moment when Palmer was fully committing to farming biodynamically, doubling its coverage to almost 15 hectares, and had just unveiled a new cellar. Harvest October 1 to 15, Sabrina Pernet technical director, Thomas Duroux director. 68% new oak. No rush to drink, and has many decades ahead, but you can begin thinking about it.

Nese med fruktprofil mot mørke kirsebær og solbær, samt lakris, hvit pepper, trøfler, fioler og begynnende tertiæraromaer.
Potent vin. Høy konsentrasjon, elegant, velbalansert. Fine polerte tanniner. Meget lang avslutning. Drikker godt nå, men kan fortsatt lagre lenge.

Inky purple in colour. This begs to be taken slowly, as even visually you can see that the texture is rich and velvety and will benefit from a few more years softening in bottle. Dark chocolate and orange zest on the nose, this performs the levitating trick of heading upwards through your palate with mouthwatering acidities while pulling you downwards towards the tannins that are underpinning the whole experience. In between the two you find cassis, bilberry, raspberry and strawberry puree, just a whole array of pure, chiselled but juicy fruits.This is living up to promise, but needs more time, still a trace of austerity on the finish right now, even though the complexity and the layers are hard to resist. Sculpted, intense and concentrated. Harvest September 22 to October 20 - a full leisurely month, mirrored by the unhurried pace that this takes through your palate. 60% new oak.

Soy, liqourice, tar, white pepper and baked earth, this remains young and taut, with a punch of cassis, bilberry and fleshy black damson fruits. You reach out and touch the tannins, they are so velvety and rippled. Not as effortlessly balanced as the 2005, this has more of an exuberant character, with chocolate and turmeric spice rippling through the fruits, and a mouthwatering crushed mint leaf finish. You can approach this now with a good few hours in a carafe, but it will improve further with another few years in bottle. Harvest September 23 to October 14, 60% new oak. One hectare of the vineyard was tested in biodynamic farming in this vintage.

Young and dense in its fruit character, with black cherry and bilberry fruits, baked earth, black truffles and saffron spice. The tannins are velvety and muscular, the finish spicy and long, and this remains a concentrated wine with plenty of life ahead of it. A late ripening year, where Autumn really saved what had been a pretty difficult August and early September. Harvest October 1 to 17, 60% new oak.

White pepper, raspberry leaf, dancing minerality, fine-boned tannins, rosebud and peony aromatics. As is often the case with the 2007 vintage, the less dense fruit means that a smokey, grilled character is emphasised, which makes this an extremely appealing wine that is ready to drink now, and will give a ton of enjoyment over the next few years, but is less for the long term than many of the vintages in this vertical. Harvest September 20 to October 2, 60% new oak.

Less exuberant in its aromatics than the 2005, a touch of crème de cassis on the first nose, slightly chalky tannins but as it opens in the glass you dive through to the rich blackberry and cassis fruits. This is a satisfyingly balanced and classically Left Bank Palmer - concentrated, savoury fruits, touches of cedar and mint leaf on the finish, grilled liqourice, nuanced and finessed. Harvest September 19 to October 2, 60% new oak.

Enticing ruby red body, with aromatics that show a touch of orange zest and turmeric spice. The fruit is creamy, intense, a brilliant Palmer that has finesse and balance but a serious kick. Black pepper, cinammon, raspberry, bilberry fruits, smoked earth and campfire on the finish, so juicy, totally salivating with a slate-textured close of play. Delicious, and a great sign that the 2005 vintage is starting to swing open. Harvest September 22 to October 7, 60% new oak. A long dry summer, with 57% less rainfall than usual, although temperatures never climbed as high as in 2003. Impossible to stop smiling after this.

A more classic year than the 2003 or 2005 on either side, really showing beautifully right now, still young but full of promise, tension and juice. This is an extremely elegant, balanced Palmer, with dark berry fruits, cassis and blackberry, touch of campfire smoke, salinity and plenty of juice running through the muscular tannins. Plays with you on the finish, stretching out its flavours, salivating, totally gorgeous, suprisingly so for a vintage that can get overlooked. One that you could happily open now, or hold for another decade or more. Harvest September 27 to October 12, 60% new oak. Thomas Duroux's first vintage as director.

Intense spice, majoring on smoked earth, pink pepper and black truffle notes, the fruit is softened, heading towards raspberry puree, crème de mure and fig. Plenty of freshness, with orange peel and graphite adding structure and texture. Soft rose petal colour around the edges shows the evolution overall, but there is still so much pleasure to be had here, and at least another decade of drinking. One of those vintages when you can really see the benefit that Bordeaux gets from being able to blend - far less Merlot was used in this wine than usual, because of the unusually high levels of ripeness and sugar that was found in the grape after the long hot summer (with temperatures reguarly breaking 40C during June, July and August). Harvest September 8 to 20, 60% new oak.

Plenty of upfront raspberry and blackberry fruits, not as elegant as the 2001 but with structure and concentration. Touches of white pepper spice, along with gunsmoke and cigar box as it opens, this is enjoyable and has a skip of acidity that keeps your mouth watering and keeps momentum drawing you forward through the palate. Harvest September 26 to October 7, 60% new oak. Palmer avoided some of the heavier rains that affected much of Bordeaux during harvest (just 5mm on this spot in the biggest storm of September 20), and was seen as one of the wines of the vintage. Impressive, and surprising.

Nose a little more subdued than the 2000, but this has the truffle, rosebud and woodsmoke combination of a Palmer that is at a perfect moment to share. Loganberry, raspberry, tobacco leaf, peony, mint leaf, the tannins are finessed and finely spun, tracing the outline of the fruit but not constricting it in any way. Waves of aromatics through the palate keep you hooked, this is nuanced, elegant, moreish, with so much Margaux appellation charater, and a juicy finish. Harvest September 29 to October 11. 60% new oak.

Usedvanlig ren og presis nese, lag på lag med klassisk aroma av «Bordeaux», cedertre, eukalyptus, tobakk, solbær, plommer, flott munnfølelse, vinen er sømløs, fra A til Å er smakskurven perfekt, fyldig anslag, strukturert, fantastisk dyp fruktkjerne, men med et «burgundersk» og luftig preg, modne behagelige tanniner, en strålende vin som drikker nydelig nå og sikkert i 15 år til.

Sommelier

The color is dense, but the nose is light, porous and medium fruity with blackcurrants. There are also red roses, cedar and minerals. It is complex and appealing. The palate is medium-bodied, velvety, medium-fruity and acidic in a fine balance. The tannins are fine-grained and fully integrated. The finish is long and acidic. It’s lovely to drink now, but can be aged for many more years, but I don’t think it will get any better than it is now.

Amateur

Denne fikk dessverre litt for kort tid i karaffelen. Tror den burde ha minst 3 timer. Lukket, men fortsatt en god vin. 

Light ruby red with a brown to orange rim. Delicate and developed nose with blackberries, cedar wood, leather and starting figs. Fresh acidity. Delicate, balanced and playful. Figs, dates, leather, tobacco and minerals. Supple integrated tannins. Very long

Definitivt moden - tanninene har «smeltet» sammen med sødmefull frukt mot jordbær/bringebær - klassiske aromaer - en delikat bdx - fin til kjøttkaker (90)

Light transparent ruby. Mature dried cherries, figs, dates, tobacco and truffles. Fresh acidity. Leather, figs, cigar case and dates. Fully integrated tannins. Medium long

Lys rubin farge, nesen er medium - intens med sort te, treverk, jordlig, mynte, jordbær, solbær og blåbær.

Smaken er ren, tørr, slank og elegant men litt sliten og kjeller/sopp preg fra midt med svake og fine tanniner i finish

WSET Diploma

Medium brick in color, the 1961 Château Palmer opens a little broody with notes of sweaty leather and iodine, soon giving way to an alluring core of fruit cake, dried blueberries, cigar box, and iron ore, plus touches of dried herbs and black truffles. The light to medium-bodied palate has a satiny texture and lively acidity framing the mature, delicate dried berry flavors, finishing on a peppery note.
