Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Palmer 3eme Cru 2019

/100

53 procent Cabernet Sauvignon, 43 procent Merlot og fire procent Petit Verdot. Alkoholindholdet er 13,8 volumenprocent. Merlot'en var den mest modne og samtidig den bedste merlot, der nogensinde er høstet på Palmer. Omlægningen til biodynamik fandt sted for ti år siden, og 2019 var kronen på værket med et godt udbytte - præcis hvad man ønsker. Merlot'en blev høstet i den sidste uge af september før regnen, og Cabernet Sauvignon'en blev høstet den følgende uge. På den ene side er vinen præget af Merlot'ens spændstighed og enorme fylde. På den anden side Cabernet'ens finesse, delikatesse og præcision. Næsen er faktisk helt i retning af Merlot. Det betyder rige sorte kirsebær, lidt søde morbær, mango på siden. Et ægte Pomerol-touch. Meget intens, ekstremt fin, legende og superelegant. Merlot er virkelig fin på denne måde, for den er ikke grov eller rustik, bare fin og legende. Åbenbaringen kommer i munden, for her får vi simpelthen denne knivskarpe, chili-skarpe, pimento-skarpe Cabernet til at gå sammen med Merlot. Den udstråler en utrolig friskhed. Med utroligt krydderi og en salt, karamelliseret længde. Utroligt med dette angreb, denne knivskarpe Cabernet i denne rige, tætte, frodige Merlot. Røde ribs og syrlige hindbær svømmer i denne cremede blanding af belgiske praliner og nøddenougat. Det er, hvad jeg kalder velsmagende. Men vinen har brug for 10, 15, måske 20 år for at vise sin sande storhed. Dette er en gigant med et enormt potentiale for evigheden. Men det er sådan en utrolig baby, i dette enorme salte oscilloskop, i denne kontrast. Cabernet'en er moden, Merlot'en er moden, men Cabernet'en har friskhed og en utrolig smag, Merlot'en er frodig og alligevel elegant. En enorm vin, som har brug for meget tid. Fantastisk! 100+/100

Suckling om: Chateau Palmer 3eme Cru

So much sweet tobacco, stone, brambleberry and currant on the nose. The palate is full and compact with very polished tannins, yet they are solid and sturdy and run the length and width of the wine. Energetic acidity. Very structured and powerful, yet agile and impressive. Historic feel. From biodynamically grown grapes. This needs at least six years of bottle age to soften. Try after 2027. 99/100

Galloni om: Chateau Palmer 3eme Cru

The 2019 Palmer is beautifully defined on the nose with pencil lead infused black fruit, crushed stone, and hints of pressed flowers. Amazingly well focused. The palate is medium-bodied with supple and exquisitely sculpted tannins, unerring symmetry with a crescendo towards the utterly harmonious and persistent finish. This exudes a sense of completeness. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. 99/100

International Wine Report om: Chateau Palmer 3eme Cru

Located in the heart of Margaux, Chateau Palmer is one of the premier estates in all of Bordeaux. The chateau has a rich history in the region and a reputation that backs that as well. At Chateau Palmer they are committed to that tradition, but also look for ways to innovate and improve without jeopardizing their respect to the land and the centuries of viticulture and vinifications. The 2019 vintage was remarkable for the Chateau, and the result is evident in the wine. This is a wine that collectors will want to have at least one bottle of in the cellar, as it is a sensational release that flirts with perfection now, but will go on to age beautifully over the coming decades. 99/100

Decanter om: Chateau Palmer 3eme Cru

Iris and violet aromatics swirl out of the glass. In the mouth, things are velvet in texture and packed with concentrated cassis puree and blackberry fruit, gentle spice, soft charcoal and sappy tannins, with the whole thing just slowly slowly expanding and building through the palate, tightening its grip as it reaches the close of play. The Palmer signature of energy and precision is here in spades, and altogether the wine is both measured and elegant, with textbook floral Margaux character, while being extremely juicy, creamy and enjoyable, with a mouthwatering salinity on the finish - up there with the very best vintages of this estate. Low SO2, as has been the case for a few years now in line with biodynamic principles. Back to normal yield this year of (a very welcome I would imagine) 45hl/ha. Harvest September 19 to October 19. 60% new oak, likely to be in barrels for the first year then large sized oak casks for the second year. 55% of overall production in the 1st wine. 98/100

Wine Enthusiast om: Chateau Palmer 3eme Cru

This is a very fine wine with a serious structure that is cushioned by the generous black fruits. It is so balanced, smooth with velvet behind the great tannins. The wine will age for many years. Drink from 2028. Organic and biodynamic. 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...
