2000 Chateau Palmer, Margaux, Bottle (750ml)

DR99 "This is opulent, exotic, succulent and crowd-pleasing and currently jumping out of the glass. It’s a brilliant example of how good Bordeaux rewards patience as this has taken its time to settle in and open up but is powering ahead right now. There is a brambly texture to the fruit with touches of iron filings and cigar box along with immensely ripe tannins and fresh acidity that combine to produce a truly great Palmer with clear appellation signature and a long life expectancy. There’s no doubt at all that this is going to keep powering on for decades ahead. Harvest 21 September to 7 October." JA for DR Oct 16, 2019

JS 97 ~ "A typical Palmer showing finesse alongside strength. I love the blackberry, plum, chocolate and cedar character. It?s very long and beautiful. The velvety, textured tannins are impressive." JS Apr 2014
