CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2025 Palmer is unusual in that Merlot drives the blend this year. That results in an unusually juicy Grand Vin. Even so, there's plenty of supporting structure. The blend is 55% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot. Black fruit, lavender, menthol, licorice, gravel and chocolate build into a driving, potent finish. There's a lot of gravitas and substance here. I am very much looking forward to tasting this as a finished wine; my impression today is that the 2025 is holding back quite a bit of its potential.

55% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot. 20 hl/ha. Cask sample.Deep colour. Dark-fruit notes. Fabulous palate - spherical and suave but focused. Lovely freshness as well. Balanced. One of the wines of the vintage. (JL)
