The Wine Independent 99 points: "A blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot, the 2019 Palmer is deep purple-black in color. It needs a little swirling to reveal a powerful core of plum preserves, blueberry compote, and creme de cassis scents, leading to nuances of licorice, mocha, black olives, and lavender, with a waft of fertile loam. Medium to full-bodied, it is rich and generous in the mouth with a firm backbone of ripe, rounded tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and fragrant. It maintains that flamboyance and opulence that is Palmer, yet with breathtaking restraint." Drinking Window 2026 - 2066, Reviewed on 09.05.22 by Lisa Perrotti-Brown
James Suckling 99 points: "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." , Reviewed on 11.11.21 by James Suckling
Falstaff 98 points: "deep dark ruby in colour with an opaque core, purple reflections, and subtle brightening on the rim. on the nose, aromas of blackberry and black cherry, a hint of fine oak and nougat, a fine nutty touch, candied orange zest, some liquorice, and subtle hints of marzipan. the palate is powerful, complex, and tightly woven, with a finesse-rich structure, supporting tannins, black forest berry fruit, spicy and darkly fruited on the lingering finish. still very undeveloped and reserved overall, with subtle sweetness on the aftertaste, a vin de garde, a long-distance runner that still requires patience. (2030-2060)." , Reviewed on 23.02.22 by Peter Moser
Inside Bordeaux 98 points: "Silky, rich and nuanced black cherry and bilberry fruit, touches of cocoa bean, liquroice, sour plum and fennel, all utterly enveloping. It unrolls slowly, building momentum with carefully placed tannins, delicate yet with a punch of power and concentration underneath. Large sized oak casks for ageing introduced alongside barrels, 60% new oak. Harvest September 19 to October 11." Drinking Window 2029 - 2048, Reviewed on 07.12.21 by Jane Anson
Yves Beck 98 points: "53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot Palmers Bouquet zeigt die Feinheit und Subtilität, die man von ihm kennt. Es besteht aus vielen Facetten durch subtile fruchtige Nuancen. Der Auftakt am Gaumen ist elegant, leicht cremig. Er steht in der Linie vieler Weine des linken Ufers, denn nach einem diskreten Auftakt enthüllt sich der Wein langsam entlang des Gaumens und bringt seine Tannine spät zur Geltung. Diese sind kräftig und fein, was die Größe des Weines unterstreicht. Dieser Palmer ist mit Sicherheit für eine lange Lagerung vorgesehen. Er glänzt durch seine Ausgewogenheit, Feinheit und Präzision." Drinking Window 2027 - 2060, Reviewed on 03.12.21 by Yves Beck
The Wine Cellar Insider 98 points: "The first thing you notice is the showy display of lilacs and roses before moving on to the currants, plums, cigar wrapper, black cherries and earthy nuances. As captivating as the perfume is, it is the sensuous, rich, silky, elegant, fresh, vibrant palate presence with its layers of perfectly ripe, black and red fruits. There is length, lift and longevity here with a vibrancy that resonates. The finish builds and expands as the fruits linger. Like all great vintages of Palmer, give this time to develop allowing the wine to gain complexity and additional nuances. This should age effortlessly for decades. Drink from 2032-2060." , Reviewed on 29.03.22 by The Wine Cellar Insider
Vinous Antonio Galloni 98 points: "The 2019 Palmer is a truly special wine, but it is also going to need a number of years to be at its finest. Dense and plush, with explosive energy, the 2019 possesses tremendous richness in its dark fruit. As always, the blend features a high percentage of Merlot (43%) which works so well in complementing the savoriness of the Cabernet. Thomas Duroux and his team fashioned another absolutely compelling Palmer in 2019." Drinking Window 2029 - 2069, Reviewed on 24.02.22 by Antonio Galloni
Decanter 98 points: "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.
