94-96 Parker: "The black/purple-colored 2009 Palmer exhibits a level of tannin that exceeds anything they have previously produced. The final blend is 52% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 7% Petit Verdot, and the finished alcohol is 13.9%. It is hard to say this 2009 will turn out better than Palmer's extraordinary 2005, but it certainly will be different in style given the alcohol level and power of this vintage. Pure blackberry and black currant fruit notes intermixed with hints of incense, graphite, and wood are followed by an opulent, thick, juicy wine with plenty of structure, and enormous concentration, mass, and length. Four to five years of patience is required, but this beauty should last for three decades or more. (Tasted once.)"
95-98 Winespectator: "Loaded with exotic fruit, with masses of crushed blackberry and blueberry. Superclear and fruit forward. Full and velvety, with fresh acidity and a long, long finish. This is almost in your face, but reserved in a way. Superseductive."
20/20 Weinwisser: "52 % Merlot, 41 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot. Ertrag: 34 hl/ha, dennoch knapp über 100 000 Flaschen Produktion. Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Unglaubliches Bouquet, alles im schwarzbeerigen Bereich, Lakritze, Rauch, Brombeeren, Black Currant, schwarze Edelhölzer und Kakao, eine komplexe Fülle zeigend, ohne alkoholisch zu wirken (13,6 Vol.-% Alkohol sind vergleichsweise niedrig). Am Gaumen schon völlig präsent, mit wunderbarer Fülle und innerer Dichte, rollende Tannine, reichlich Brombeeren und Cassis, nobel. 2017-2038"
18/20 Jancis Robinson: "Drink 2018-2035; 41% Cabernet Sauvignon, 52% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot. Lustrous dark crimson. Very sweet and opulent on the nose. Very charming and glamorous. Much more of an expression of Merlot than many Médocs in 2009. Big and glamorous - a slightly Italian note. This year obsessed by extraction even more than usual. Prefer to play with press wines later. New from Parsec, a robot that turns though three dimensions. Experimented in 2008 for gentle extraction. Italian elan. Fresh."
19/20 Decanter *****: "Black red, deep velvety richness and wonderful concentration of black, spicy fruits on the nose, firm and powerful, fragrant and lifted, a satiny, seductive texture, great concentration, totally harmonious. Drink 2016-35."
