“There is no other wine like Palmer in Bordeaux”, schreef Antonio Galloni (Vinous)

“There is no other wine like Palmer in Bordeaux”, schreef Antonio Galloni (Vinous) vorig jaar. Château Palmer is namelijk méér dan alleen Margaux. Het is een van de bekendste wijnen die de regio voortbrengt, de ideale diepte-investering en een droomwijn voor liefhebbers: een evergreen van Bordeaux. Jaargang 2014 werd, nu de wijn prachtig op dronk is bij het tienjarig jubileum, opnieuw uitgebracht (en leverde twee keer 97 punten op). Mijlpaal 2014 In 2024 viert Palmer het tienjarig jubileum van jaargang 2014, dat op zichzelf al een verjaardag markeerde: precies 200 jaar eerder kocht generaal Charles Palmer de wijngaarden. In de ontwikkeling van Palmer tot de wijn van nu is 2014 bovendien een mijlpaal: het éérste jaar waarop de wijn (avant la lettre) volledig biodynamisch werd gemaakt. Het draagt bij aan de kenmerkende levendigheid in de wijn en maakt de wijn haast etherisch en elegant. Jancis Robinson noemde het “Bit of a ballet dancer.” Een koel groeiseizoen en ‘indian summer’ zorgden voor elegante wijnen in de 2014 jaargang. Palmer 2014 steekt zelfs uit tussen andere wijnen van hetzelfde jaar. Antonio Galloni noemt het: “one of the sexiest, raciest 2014s readers will come across”. Proefnotitie Wine Enthusiast (97 punten) schreef over Palmer 2014: “It's easy to call this a beautiful wine”. Ze schrijven dat deze biodynamische oogst indrukwekkend, rijp fruit heeft opgeleverd. De blend - 49% cabernet Sauvignon, 45% merlot en 6% petit verdot - biedt een sensationele waaier aan geuren en smaken: van donkere kersen en rode pruimen, bramen en allerlei bessen tot espressobonen, grafiet, leer, paddestoelen, tabak en munt. Ondanks dat deze sensuele wijn compact en stevig van structuur is, voelt de wijn zijdezacht aan op het palet. . Er zit spanning tussen die structuur en textuur van de wijn. Oudering en verzachting van de tannines speelt daar een rol in en de manier waarop het fruit de mond vult draagt daaraan bij. Decanter (97 punten) sloeg de spijker op de kop: “it's the texture and sense of weight and the long finish that really makes this wine stand out”.

This really develops wonderfully in the glass starting out earthy with mushrooms and spices and then turns to dark fruit such as blackberries and blackcurrants. Full-bodied, very intense and minerally. Firm and silky tannins and a long, long finish. From biodynamically grown grapes.

The 2014 Palmer is endowed with serious depth and intensity. Black cherry, bittersweet chocolate, spice, leather, tobacco and menthol infuse the 2014 with striking midpalate depth, unctuousness and texture. Silky, plush and polished, the 2014 will likely offer a very long window of pure drinking pleasure. It is one of the sexiest, raciest 2014s readers will come across. The blend is 49 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 45 % Merlot and 6 % Petit Verdot aged in 60-65 % new French oak.

It's easy to call this a beautiful wine—it's dense and lush, with great layers of black fruit and acidity. The first fully biodynamic vintage from this estate has certainly yielded impressive ripe fruit, with structured tannins and dark berry flavors that linger long. It has enormous potential, certainly not be ready to drink before 2027.

Quite vivid aromatics on the nose, deep and heady, blue fruit, peppercorns, liquorice and cocoa powder. Fruity and really quite dense in terms of chewiness and flavour. Stands out in the line up for being forward, lifted, intense and powerful, grippy and alive. Excellent presentation and character. Feels youthful and fresh, but it's the texture and sense of weight and the long finish that really makes this wine stand out. A great showing for Palmer with a long life ahead.

Espresso bean, truffle, floral, plum and earthy scents pop quickly as your nose meets the glass. A polished and elegant debutante wrapped in a gown of velvety tannins, this wine is fresh, clean and pure leaving you with a sensuous drape of lingering fruits. This wine is the first fully biodynamic vintage for the chateau. Produced from a blend of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot, the reached 13.5 alcohol with a pH of 3.6. It represents 55% of the harvest, which took place between September 22 and October 14.

Intense plum colour. Plenty of dark bitter chocolate notes on the attack, with concentrated cassis fruits and chewy tannins balanced by fresh acidities, together giving an impression of concentration and finesse. Tobacco leaf as it opens, along with liqourice, grilled cedar, and a fist of rosemary spice. This needs a few more years to really soften the austerity but it's a great wine where Palmer is over-performing the vintage, something that must have given the team confidence in their decision to farm the entire vineyard biodynamically in this vintage, the 5th year after increasingly large-scale trials had begun. This was also the 200th anniversary vintage since General Charles Palmer bought the wine estate from Madame de Gascq. Harvest September 22 to October 14, 60% new oak.

The 2014 Palmer builds on the promise that it showed in barrel. It is clearly a more understated and nuanced Palmer from winemaker Thomas Duroux this year, but a Margaux with exquisite delineation and precision, hints of blackberry, boysenberry and a touch of pencil box. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin. It feels supple and lithe in the mouth. It will not have the depth and power of the subsequent 2015 Palmer, yet the "flow" is very sensual and the Merlot (45% of the blend) just lends it roundness and a caressing texture. What a beautiful Margaux and I bet it will be deceptively long-lived.

Quite dark crimson but not super deep. Real interest on the nose. Something floral and complex. Very distinctive and far from the Médoc concentrated norm. Still the acidity creeps in but it certainly is more burgundian (T Duroux was not the only Bordelais to mention Burgundy). Racy and sinewy. Bit of a ballet dancer. Really quite delicate. Fresh and distinctive. Appetising. Striking.
