Product information

I only have two notes on Palmer, which has always stood in the shadow of the great 83. A marvellously beautiful bottle in 1994 at Willi Krähling at 93/100 level and a very disappointing, somewhat green and off-putting bottle at the end of 2001 in Kleinwalsertal. So I'll have to try it again (source: wineterminator.com Dr Becker).

Parker N° 129 (26.06.2000) : 89 Drinkability : -2010 This wine has turned out far better than predicted. The 1982 has become more delineated and put on weight. The 1982 is a juicy, complex, Pomerol-inspired effort with abundant black cherry and black currant fruit presented in a medium to full-bodied, plump, straightforward style. Fleshy, fresh, and lively, it should be consumed over the next 7-10 years.

Weinwisser (19.11.2002) : 18/20 Drinkability : -2005 Wine Spectator (30.11.1998) : 90 A well-crafted red with beautiful structure. Dark ruby-garnet in colour, with a lot of violet and earth aromas. Full-bodied, with loads of silky tannins and a long, sweet fruit finish. Has always been outstanding. Drink now. International Wine Cellar 93/100 : Full, deep red. Spicy aromas of cassis and rose petal, with a whiff of meat. Then wonderfully penetrating and classy, with bright acidity giving the wine superb clarity and thrust. This has terrific structure. Finishes very long and fine, with excellent grip. By far the finest bottle I've tasted to date of this wine, and one of the real surprises of the tasting. (My second bottle showed roasted redcurrant, leather, meat and smoky oak on the nose; and a sweet, suave, broad palate without quite the structure and grip of the first sample. But this wine, too, offered compelling sweetness and rated 91 points). Drink now through 2015.
