Château Palmer 2007

The Wolrd of Fine Wine, Michael Schuster, 12/20/2011
« Fine, sweet, ripe-fruit nose, which should make a lovely bouquet: nicely balanced, fresh, moderately rich middleweight, with a fine dry tannin frame: sweet, generous fruit, with notable complexity fot the vintage: ripe, minerally and long across the palate, but with a firmness of tannin that will need some time in bottle to mellow, an excellent, mineral-infused length.  »

The Wolrd of Fine Wine, Michel Bettane, 12/20/2011
« Really my style of nose: great delicacy and great intricacy between cedar, leather and pepper. A noble texture and great finish. One of the most promising wines of the vintage.  »

The Wolrd of Fine Wine, Thierry Desseauve, 12/20/2011
« Bright dark color. The most complex nose of the tasting, with a fantastic combination of coffee, crème anglaise, red fruit, cigar box and virginia tobacco.
Smooth and deep-bodied in an ultra refined style but with great energy. A fantastic succes.  »

Institute Masters of Wine, John Hoskins, 11/09/2011
« Quite deeply coloured. Very attractive on the
nose – pure cassis, that cedary freshness and
just a little leafy. Unexpectedly slight on the
palate, though they have worked well to keep
light structure and fresh fruit in balance.
Elegant. »

Wine Journal erobertparker.com, Neal Martin, 10/20/2011
« Tasted blind at the 2007 Bordeaux horizontal in Southwold. The Palmer 2007 has a very fine bouquet with macerated dark cherries, loganberry, cedar and a touch of graphite. Very good definition and lift. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins, some lovely ripe Merlot lending corpulence and lushness, though without compromising structure. The breeding is evident here and it represents one of the finest wines of the appellation this year. »

La Revue du Vin de France n°548, Olivier Poels, 07/01/2010
« Le vin séduit par sa belle rondeur et son côté souple et en même temps très gourmand. Ample et de bonne constitution, avec une expression juteuse du fruit, il est délicieux aujourd\'hui. »

Beverage Media, Roger Morris, 04/01/2008
« Beautiful Cabernet nose, good structure and length, dark cassis and walnut flavors. »

Decanter, Steven Spurrier, 04/01/2008
« Black-red. Lovely, very rich concentration of velvety, spicy fruit with great depth but not over-extraction. Impressive persistence with good density of tannins to back it up.  »

Gault Millau, 04/01/2008
« Robe grenat sombre, réglisse. Belle densité, élégant, petit creux, joli fond suave, assez rond. »
