Was da auf Château Palmer kreiert wird verschlägt einem schier den Atem! Biodynamie scheint
wahrhaftig der Schlüssel zum dauerhaften Erfolg zu sein. Ganz gleich welche Wetterbedingungen
herrschen. Die hoch interessante leicht minzige Note des Alter Ego auch im Château Palmer.
Viel Teer Tabak Espresso Würze dazu tiefdunkle Frucht frisch saftig druckvoll. Perfekt
eingebundene Gerbstoffe machen ihn zu einem wahren Bordeaux-Kunstwerk! Wine Advocate: 95-97 100
Punkte "The 2016 Palmer is a blend of 47% Merlot 47% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot
cropped at 29 hectoliters per hectare between 3 and 18 October. Matured in 65% new oak (my
sample coming from a used barrel) the bouquet is perhaps not quite as intense as some of its
peers and takes time to click into fifth gear. Eventually it offers tightly wound blackberry
briary and mineral scents it is very focused but maybe less extrovert and more classic in
style compared to recent vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip on the entry
quite firm in the mouth with slightly tarry black fruit hints of black truffle developing
towards the finish that feels masculine and linear. It has very impressive length completing
what is an intellectual Palmer one that I suspect will really blossom in bottle." Trinkgenuss:

James Suckling: 99-100 100 Punkte "I wrote that the 2015 was incredible and this 2016 is
again. It's equally structured and powerful as the 2015 yet there's an underlying intellectual
serenity to this wine. You taste it and you want to know and experience it even more. Full and
tannic yet ever so polished and beautiful. Mesmerizing. Made from biodynamically grown grapes."
Decanter: 98 100 Punkte "The grand vin represents 65% of production in 2016 the highest ever.
It has many similarities in style with the 2001 and 1986 being a classically styled wine full
of soft slate fern liquorice and cassis but from the modern era where you can achieve so
much more precision. This is a wine that makes you smile from the first sip and keeps on
getting better caressing you gently across the palate. There is never any let up through the
mid-palate and the biodynamics that have been practised here for the past few years are
clearly paying off. Elegant utterly silky and precise the structure is just effortless with
reasonably fresh alcohols that are the result of late ripening. A perfect example of the
appellation it has the florality density and slow tannic pace that means it takes you right
along with it as the flavours build. The blend is 47% Merlot 47% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6%
Petit Verdot. Intellectual without being overbearing and built to age. This is impressive
stuff." Antonio Galloni vinous: 95-98 100 Punkte "Sophisticated and polished from the outset
the 2016 Palmer is utterly captivating. Dark shades of fruit accented by hints of smoke
leather and discreet French oak open up in the glass but it is the wine'e effortless gracious
personality that stands out most. The 2016 literally hovers on the palate with exquisite grace.
I can't wait to see how it ages." Wine Enthusiast: 98-100 100 Punkte "Potentially an 100-point
wine this is beautifully ripe and rich with sweet tannins as well as opulent black fruit
tones. A higher than usual proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend gives the wine its
density sophistication and great sense of presence." Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen
