Critic reviews

Wine Adcovate, 96/100

Château Palmer is one of the vintage's superstars. Opaque purple, with a gorgeous nose of blueberry, blackberry fruit, licorice, incense and graphite, the wine has a multi-dimensional, skyscraper-like richness, stunningly well-integrated acidity, tannin, wood, and alcohol, a finish of close to 45 seconds and a full-bodied mouthfeel. This is a great wine from Margaux in 2012 and one of the vintage's most remarkable efforts. The final blend was 48% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot. Anticipated maturity: 2022-2040+.96

James Suckling , 97/100

This is mind-blowing with complex and superb aromas of dried flowers, blackcurrants and raspberries. Full-bodied, yet polished and velvety with lots of tension and intensity. Layers of fruit and character. Finishes with pure fruit, hazelnuts and minerals. About 20 hectares of 55 hectares were from biodynamically grown grapes. Try in 2022. Stunning

Jane Anson, 93/100

Bitter black chocolate, grilled rosemary and cedar and smoked earth, there is momentum and life through the palate, a Palmer that has succulence and pleasure and will be ready to drink now and over the next few decades, providing a welcome pause in the vintages that need long cellaring. It has persistency and gentle cinammon and sage spice. Low yields, around 28hl/h. Harvest October 1 to 15, 60% new oak.
