Description
Robert Parker: One of the all-time great Palmers (along with the
1961, 1966, 1970, 1989, 2000 and 2005), the 2009 Palmer is a blend
of 52% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon and a whopping 7% Petit
Verdot that came in at close to 14% natural alcohol. An opaque
blue/black color suggests a wine with thrilling levels of
concentration and intensity, and That's exactly what a taster gets.
Subtle smoke, incense and Asian spice (soy?) notes interwoven with
graphite, blueberry, blackberry and cassis characteristics lead to
a full-bodied, phenomenally concentrated, viscous, opulent wine
with plenty of sweet tannin. This sensational Palmer reveals even
more floral notes than vintages such as 2005 and 2000. It should
drink well for 50 years. Drink: 2012-2062
