Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Palmer 3eme Cru 2009

97–99+
/100

41% Cabernet Sauvignon, 52% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot. Kun godt 30 hl/ha høstet. Høstet inden 14. oktober. 13,8% alkohol. Sort med rubinrød kant. Olieholdigt flow i glasset, rig på ekstrakt og glycerin, polyfenoler, farvemolekyler... Næse af moden blomme, intenst duftende røde kirsebær, fin, sød cassis, alt sammen vibrerende i høj intensitet, der også minder om Barolo Cannubi af Sandrone og Chambertin Grand Cru i sin burgundiske, duftende stil. Duften er stort set nok til at score 100 point her, en drømmevin. I munden lakrids og cassis, mørk chokolade, rige tanniner, tæt og meget poleret, ekstremt fløjlsagtig med en bitter hale. Cubansk tobak, cedertræ, brombær og lidt bitre blåbær, frisk mynte, lidt fersken. Ekstremt intens og tæt i munden, meget smidig tæthed, fyldig elegance, optager alle sanser og fylder ud, rasende længde i minutter. God friskhed alligevel, eftersmagen kommer også med hurtige tranebær. Måske en anelse for frodig og fed, for ekstraheret til den helt store biograf, som på Chateau Margaux, men det er stilen i de sidste 10 år på Palmer med dette strejf af Californien. Måske endnu mere potentiale? 97-99+/100

Wine Enthusiast om: Chateau Palmer 3eme Cru

Sumptuous, opulent, with gorgeous ripe fruit, and yet under 14 percent alcohol. The firm tannins are almost smothered by the delicious fruits. It is a great wine that expresses both the natural exuberance of Palmer and the rich fruit and balancing freshness of the vintage. 98-100/100

Suckling om: Chateau Palmer 3eme Cru

This is a departure from the old style of Palmer. It is flamboyant and exciting now. It is not shy any more. The nose jumps out of the glass with blackberries, blueberries, chocolate, and hints of vanilla. Full bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, long finish. This is so intense with a spice and blueberry character from the Petit Verdot (7%) and the rest from the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. This is the best young wine I have ever tasted from here. Barrel sample. 98-99/100

Parker om: Chateau Palmer 3eme Cru

The 2010 is a brilliant Chateau Margaux, as one might expect in this vintage. The percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon in the final blend hit 90%, the balance Merlot and Cabernet Franc, and only 38% of the crop made it into the Chateau Margaux. Paul Pontallier, the administrator, told me that this wine has even higher levels of tannin than some other extraordinary vintages such as 2005, 2000, 1996, etc. Deep purple, pure and intense, with floral notes, tremendous opulence and palate presence, this is a wine of considerable nobility. With loads of blueberry, black currant and violet-infused fruit and a heady alcohol level above 13.5% (although that looks modest compared to several other first growths, particularly Chateau Latour and Chateau Haut-Brion), its beautifully sweet texture, ripe tannin, abundant depth and profound finish all make for another near-perfect wine that should age effortlessly for 30-40 years. 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...
