100 Vinous
The 2018 Palmer is even more impressive from bottle than it was from barrel, and that is saying something. Rich, exotic and beautifully layered, Palmer is a real head-turner in 2018. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, licorice, espresso and sweet floral notes build over time, but it is the wine's stunning depth and textural voluptuousness that elevate it into the realm of the truly sublime. As I wrote in my initial review, the 2018 Palmer is a freak of nature from yields of just 11 hectoliters per hectare harvested over an entire month. Mildew was especially punishing. There is no Alter Ego, just the Grand Vin. Kudos to CEO Thomas Duroux and his team for what I can only describe as a truly magical wine.

The level of glycerine sets this apart, giving the cascade of plum, currant, blackberry and black cherry fruit extra oomph, while seeming to heighten the purity at the same time. Beautiful violet, incense and juniper notes flash in the background. This is packed with iron-laced grip, but remains seamless and extremely long. I suspect this will be one of the most talked-about wines of the vintage.—J.M.

The 2018 Palmer is composed of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 7% Petit Verdot. The wine has a 3.83 pH and 14.3% alcohol. Very deep garnet-purple in color, it explodes from the glass with atomic scents of blackberry preserves, crème de cassis and blueberry pie, plus suggestions of red roses, clove oil, dark chocolate and cedar chest with hints of Chinese five spice and menthol. The full-bodied palate is decadently styled, offering layer upon layer of black fruit preserves and exotic spices, framed by exquisitely plush tannins and seamless freshness, finishing wonderfully fragrant and with epic length. It's an amazingly beautiful beast of a wine—one for the hedonists!

Complex nose of black cherries, blackberries, dark chocolate and floral undertones with perfume-like character. It’s full-bodied with firm tannins. Elegant on the palate with structure. Savory and balanced, complex and layered. Long finish. Really lingers. This has really evolved into a beautiful white swan after a difficult debut from barrel! Tiny production. only 11 hectoliters per hectare. Try after 2024.

Château Palmer

Château Palmer gehört zu den legendären Weinen der Appellation Margaux, und zeichnete sich seit jeher durch sein erkennbares mitternachtsblaues Etikett und sein unnachahmliches Bouquet aus, eine ungewöhnliche Mischung aus Kraft und Finesse. Der kräftige Charakter dieses Weins ist auf ein legendäres Terroir und mehrere dynamische Persönlichkeiten zurückzuführen, die im Laufe der Geschichte die Identität des Weinguts geprägt haben.

Obwohl das Anwesen im 17. Jahrhundert gegründet wurde, wurde es erst im Jahr 1814 zu Château Palmer,als es von Charles Palmer, ein eleganter britischer General, erworben wurde. Dieser verlieh seinem Namensvetter so viel Glanz und Glamour, dass es in den aristokratischen Kreisen Londons bekannt wurde.

In 1853 brachten die Gebrüder Pereire, die zu den bedeutendsten französischen Finanziers unter Napoleon III. gehörten, die nötige Strenge und Weitsicht mit, damit Château Palmer unter den prestigeträchtigsten Klassifizierungen von 1855 aufgenommen wurde. Im Jahr 1938 kaufte ein Konsortium von vier Familien, die im Bordeaux-Weinhandel führend waren, das Weingut und läutete damit eine Ära bedeutender Jahrgänge und tief verwurzelter Stabilität ein - tatsächlich ist Palmer noch immer im Besitz der Nachkommen von zwei dieser Familien: Mähler-Besse und Sichel.
