The Wine Advocate

"A stunning success for the vintage, and possibly the Margaux of the year, this wine, which achieved 13.5% natural alcohol, is a blend of 51% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Petit Verdot. Loads of barbecue smoke, licorice, incense, blackberry, new saddle leather and forest floor notes jump from the glass of this dense, purple-colored wine. Extraordinarily intense and full-bodied, with plenty of tannin, but not the formidable structure of the 2010, this is going to be one of the longest-lived wines of 2008. It is full, rich, layered, and should be reasonably approachable with 3-4 years of bottle age, and will also keep for 30+ years. Drink 2014-2044"

"The 2008 Palmer, which tips the scales at 13.5% natural alcohol (among the highest achieved at this property), is a blend of 51% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 8% Petit Verdot. It is a massively rich wine with an inky/purple color, sensational density of fruit, velvety tannins, a glorious bouquet of black fruits, licorice, incense, and subtle barbecue smoke, a superb, full-bodied mouthfeel, and a fabulous texture and length. With several minutes of swirling, an enticing floral note emerges. The wine’s glycerin and sweetness suggest it will be approachable 3-4 years after bottling, yet keep for three decades or more. It appears to be among the finest Palmers made this decade, rivaling both the 2005 and 2000. Yields at Palmer were a shockingly low 30 hectoliters per hectare, and the harvest lasted from October 1 to October 17. Keep in mind, the natural alcohol percentage in the Merlots harvested at Chateau Palmer was a low of 13.5% and reached a lofty peak of 14.5%. All the Cabernet Sauvignons came in between 12%-12.5%. Moreover, the level of tannins and dry extract/polyphenols was the same as in 2005, which provides one more piece of evidence in what is a very successful vintage for Bordeaux."

"Very deep colour. Like the Alter Ego, the nose takes some coaxing from the glass, it is not as generous as the 2006 or 2007, rather this unfurls gracefully in the glass. Black cherries, violets with boysenberry and a touch of iodine. A slight clayey accent coming through. The palate is full-bodied, it has that same sense of energy, a real prickle on the tongue, very fresh and taut – tension. Firm tannins, again quite strict on the finish. Correct but supremely well focused. A certain austerity at the finish, but that will mellow out in time. Impressive (again)."

Decanter Magazine

"Black-red, excellent concentration of black fruits, yet still plummy and aromatic, satiny ripeness with good firm tannins, freshness and depth, will be very good."

Jancis Robinson

"Dark and glowing. Quite grown up and sophisticated. Draws you in on the nose – much more compelling than most 2008s. Sweet start - 51% Merlot! – very unusually high for 2008 and for Palmer. The opposite of Ch Margaux. Actually quite Ornellaia like, very soft and rich. Very seductive and lively. With velvety texture. Neat and energetic. Cool, even slightly minty. Really lots of pleasure. Even if quite unusual. The Palmer team love it – not least because it was so difficult. Italian bite. (Not that this will be a popular tasting note in Margaux.) Quite electric. 13.4%."

Revue du Vin de France

"Toujours très différent de ses voisins, Palmer se distingue par ses merlots. Des merlots qui cette année ont connu une importante coulure et par conséquent de faibles rendements. A Palmer, ce cépage signe le caractère moelleux et rond du cru avec ses notes de fruits noirs et d'épices. Concentré et de belle intensité, 2008 est un Palmer bâti pour durer."

James Suckling

"Palmer knows what to do. Plenty of blackberry and licorice aromas and flavours follow through to ful body, with chewy tannins and a vanilla, cedar and chocolate aftertaste. Needs time to mellow. Layered and beautiful. Best after 2012."

René Gabriel's BDX Total

"51 % Merlot, 41 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 8 % Petit Verdot. 30 hl/ha Ertrag. Sehr dunkles Purpur mit lila und auch violetten Reflexen. Nobles, kühles, florales Bouquet mit Tiefe, Havannatouch und Holundernoten. Sehr langer, fein gewobener Gaumen, tolle Balance, mit guter Struktur und stillen Reserven, schön am Gaumen verteilte Adstringenz. Dieser grossartige Palmer ist weniger ein Spektakel als der geglückte Versuch, aus einem schwierigen, späten Jahrgang auf faire Weise das Beste herauszuholen. Direktor Thomas Duroux: «Für mich ein sehr raffinierter, finessenreicher Palmer!»"

Wine Spectator

"Offers dark plum, mulled currant and blackberry notes, with flashes of roasted apple wood and maduro tobacco, plus cocoa and espresso. There's nicely rounded flesh and a long, integrated finish that has some extra grip. Clearly apart from the Margaux pack in 2008."

VINOUS

"Medium red. Aromas of redcurrant, spices, fresh herbs and smoke. A juicy, spicy midweight with a slightly medicinal cast to its flavors of berries, mint and fresh herbs. I doubt I would have picked this supple, moderately ripe wine blind as Pomerol. Finishes with broad, dusty tannins and a faint greenness."
