"I am breathless with the dark-berry lavender and burnt-orange aromas. Some salt. Just so formidable and deep. Stunningly sexy on the palate with a density and power yet it leaves things so clean and bright. You want to drink it and enjoy it now but it has the structure to last forever. Drink in 2022."

"Bottled relatively late in mid-September 2017 the 2015 Palmer is a blend of 44% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon with a small portion of Petit Verdot. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored it offers vibrant red currants black cherries wild blueberries earth and mineral characteristics to begin with slowly unfurling floral notes of violets and dried roses plus compelling baker?s chocolate and fragrant earth layers. Medium to full-bodied generously fruited and possessing firm yet very very fine-grained mind-blowingly ripe tannins the multifaceted palate features something of a skip in its step in terms of freshness while it goes beguilingly earthy on the finish with some mineral hints. Very classy elegant and sophisticated this vintage is downright regal in its juxtaposition between poise and audaciousness. Think 2005 Palmer with a tick more fruit intensity perfume and passion."

Generous rich and powerful this is a sumptuous wine. With just a slight preponderance of Cabernet Sauvignon it has structure as well as clean clear black-currant flavors. Produced from biodynamically grown grapes it delivers an explosion of fruit as well as serious tannins. Drink from 2027.

The 2015 Palmer is a wine of total refinement and class. All the elements are wonderfully meshed together as they always have been from the very start. Dark black cherry plum mocha licorice spice and leather notes are all seamless in the glass. The tannins are present but they are silky and pretty much buried by the sheer luxuriousness of the fruit. Palmer is one of the most complete and harmonious wines of 2015. This is a brilliant effort from Thomas Duroux and his team.
Wine Spectator: 96 Points
This is dark and muscular in style brimming with bramble warm tar and paving stone notes that are matched by the deep layers of fig blackberry and cassis fruit. A gorgeous bittersweet chocolate detail adds spine to the finish while violet and iron elements lurk in reserve. Another large wave of fruit and dark earth courses through the finish. Best from 2025 through 2045. ?JM
