Den Chateau Palmer 2022 habe ich wie folgt verkostet:
96-98
14.4 51 Cab Sauv 45 Merlot 4 Petit Verdot Tiefe und komplexe Nase mit toller Energie und Frische im Duft, nichts Heisses, es kommt eine verspielt blumige Art hinzu, ein kleiner Touch von Schoko und Makritze. Im Mund füllig und doch total balanciert, eine weiche aber präsente Säurestruktur die mineralische Frische verleiht, ganz zartes und doch kraftvolles Finale, bei vollem Körper.

As is the case at neighbor Château Margaux, the 2022 Palmer is one of the most powerful wines this estate has ever produced. A blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot, it offers up aromas of blackberries, burning embers, violets, iris and sweet soil tones, followed by a full-bodied, broad and expansive palate, its velvety attack segueing into a rich and layered core. Supple, seamless and concentrated, it checks in at 14.4% alcohol and a rather high pH of 3.79.
Den Chateau Palmer 2022 hat James Suckling wie folgt verkostet:
So much class in the nose with a sophisticated kaleidoscope of dark fruit such as blackcurrants, and spices such as salt and pepper, as well as cloves and nutmeg. Full-bodied. Compacted and dense yet weightless. It opens beautifully. The tannins go on and on with wonderful presence. Salty undertones.

The 2022 Château Palmer is utterly brilliant, so much so that I questioned in my notes if this would challenge the 2018. A blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot, from tiny yields of 22 hectoliters per hectare, its mammoth-sized personality offers layers of blue and black fruits, notes of melted chocolate, crushed stone, and spring flowers, building, velvety tannins, and a great, great finish. While many estates commented that they extracted less in the vintage, Palmer went in a different direction and extracted more during the vinifications to provide a solid backbone to match the concentration and power of the vintage. It appears to have worked brilliantly, and hats off to Thomas Duroux for having the confidence to go his own path. He has produced a truly Grand Vin in 2022. The alcohol here is a normal 14.4%, and the pH is a healthy 3.79.

Kraftvoll, reife dunkle Beerenfucht, feine Extraktsüße, präsente, tragende Tannine, gute Frische, zeigt einen kühlen Abgang, extraktsüßer Nachhall, bleibt minutenlang haften, nahe an der Perfektion.
