Quite vivid aromatics on the nose deep and heady blue fruit peppercorns liquorice and cocoa powder. Fruity and really quite dense in terms of chewiness and flavour. Stands out in the line up for being forward lifted intense and powerful grippy and alive. Excellent presentation and character. Feels youthful and fresh but it's the texture and sense of weight and the long finish that really makes this wine stand out. A great showing for Palmer with a long life ahead. - Georgina Hindle

The 2014 Palmer is up with the crème de la crème of the vintage and should merit an even higher score in 5-7 years. A blend of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon 45% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot brought up in 65% new French oak its deep ruby/purple-tinged color is followed by a rich opulent bouquet of blackcurrants black cherries chocolate and tobacco with hints of graphite and background oak. With more texture and mid-palate depth than most in the vintage this terrific 2014 is medium to full-bodied beautifully concentrated layered and as hedonistic and sexy as it gets in the vintage. Give bottle 4-5 years and it should drink nicely for two decades.

This really develops wonderfully in the glass starting out earthy with mushrooms and spices and then turns to dark fruit such as blackberries and blackcurrants. Full-bodied very intense and minerally. Firm and silky tannins and a long long finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink in 2022.
