Palmer 2017
CRITIC REVIEWS
Jeb Dunnuck
The grand vin 2017 Chateau Palmer checks in as 54% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Petit Verdot brought up in 60% new French oak. This deep purple-colored beauty gives up more cassis fruits as well as hints of chocolate, graphite, smoked herbs, and crushed violets. Beautifully concentrated, rich, and full-bodied, it has a wonderful sense of elegance and purity, laser-like precision, building tannins, and a great finish. Give bottles a solid 7-8 years and its going to evolve for 25-30 years or more.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Palmer needs considerable swirling to shake loose its gorgeous perfume of Morello cherries, blackcurrant pastilles and wild blueberries with emerging suggestions of iron ore, dusty soil, wild sage, cinnamon toast, and graphite. Medium-bodied, the palate has exquisitely ripe, fine-grained tannins and compelling tension to the tightly wound red and black fruit layers, finishing long and minerally. The blend is 54% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Petit Verdot.
