100 Points - Wine EnthusiastPowerful tannins and hugely rich fruit balance together in this superb wine. The velvet texture belies the power behind the concentrated, ripe black-fruit flavour, with vibrant acidity giving ample lift. The wine�s structure will ensure aging for many years. Drink from 2024.100 Points - Jeb DunnuckThe finest vintage I�ve ever tasted from this estate, surpassing the 2009 and 2010, the 2016 Ch�teau Palmer is a blend of 47% each of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with the balance Petit Verdot, all of which was brought up in 65% new French oak. This magical effort reveals a saturated purple colour as well as a huge nose of cr�me de cassis, graphite, crushed rocks, and spring flowers, and it develops beautifully with time in the glass. Full-bodied, deep, incredibly concentrated and powerful, it nevertheless just glides over the palate
