Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Palmer 3eme Cru 2005

97–100
/100

Sort, næsten uigennemtrængelig. Meget moden næse, men ikke overmoden. Primært chokolade, mørk frugt, masser af brombær. Sødmefuld. I munden en enorm overflod af sort frugt med tjære og chokolade og masser af bid, race og klasse. Vinen har både årgangens finesse og race, men også en enorm kraft. Denne vin viser også Margaux-appellationens fremragende position i år efter min mening. Næsten sensationel. Dette år er det perfekte kompromis for Palmer. Kraften og volumen, som han allerede har vist så ofte, men også racet og finessen, overmodenheden og alligevel friskheden. Enestående. 97-100/100

Jane Anson om: Chateau Palmer 3eme Cru

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. 100/100

Parker om: Chateau Palmer 3eme Cru

Its bigger sister, the 2005 Château Palmer (53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 7% Petit Verdot), is one of the great efforts of this superlative vintage. Floral notes mixed with blackberry, cassis, plum, licorice and spring flowers soar from the glass of this dense ruby/purple wine. It is medium to full-bodied, surprisingly opulent (it has a big percentage of Merlot), long, multi-dimensional and textured. This wonderfully pure, stunning wine once again performs as a first-growth. It should drink well for the next 20-25 years. 98/100

Decanter om: Chateau Palmer 3eme Cru

The 2005 was the first vintage where Thomas Duroux was in charge from beginning to end, having worked alongside his predecessor Bertrand Bouteiller on most of the 2004. Another great vintage in this all-star line-up, and the one that perhaps had the most exuberant sunny expression in the early years, although now at 15 years of age the tertiary aromatics are just starting to arrive, along with hints of earthiness and a savoury cassis fruit character as the Cabernet Sauvignon continues to dominate. There is a gentle truffled edging to the colour also, but the tannic frame is very much in play, and still cradling the fruit. A great wine that walks the tightrope between young and old Palmer, and between the welcome of a generous vintage and the natural elegance of a great Palmer. Harvest September 22 to October 7. Drinking Window 2020 - 2045. 97/100

Wine Spectator om: Chateau Palmer 3eme Cru

Opulent and flamboyant are the two words that come to mind with this wine. Aromas of blackberries, dark chocolate and toasted oak follow through to a full-bodied palate, with big, chewy tannins (yet they are refined and silky) and a long, long finish. This is a full-throttle Palmer. Superripe and delicious. 95-98/100

Selvom Chateau Palmer officielt kun er en 3eme Cru, er dens kvalitet ofte meget højere. Den er især kendt for sin ekstremt velduftende bouquet, som gør den umiskendelig i næsen. Andelen af Merlot-druer i blandingen er med 40 % relativt høj for en Margaux, hvilket kan give den sin typiske smidige...
