Parker about Château Palmer 2000
This has turned out to be a prodigious Palmer. The saturated purple color offers up sexy, full-bodied, almost masculine notes of roasted meats, blackberries, and creme de cassis intermixed with notions of toast, smoke, and camphor. Only 50% of the production made it into the 2000, a blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon and 47% Merlot. The wine is opulent, rich, and full-bodied, with tannin that has become sweeter with age. Its best showing yet, most importantly, has been from bottle. This is a great Palmer that should rival the best of recent vintages, which have all been stunning, as this estate continues to go from strength to strength.
Suckling over Château Palmer 2000
A typical Palmer showing finesse alongside strength. I love the blackberry, plum, chocolate and cedar characters. It's very long and beautiful. The velvety, textured tannins are impressive.

Château Palmer 2000
The Château Palmer 2000 from the Margaux appellation is one of the most important wines of this exceptional vintage in Bordeaux. The 2000 vintage was widely considered one of the best in recent decades, and Palmer, with his signature style, has produced a particularly elegant yet powerful interpretation of this vintage.
The wine displays a deep ruby red color with hints of garnet, indicating its onset of ripeness. On the nose, it reveals complex and seductive aromas of ripe blackcurrants, blackberries, and plums, complemented by floral notes of violets and rose petals, typical of Margaux wines. This fruitiness is accompanied by subtle hints of cedarwood, tobacco, chocolate, and a touch of spices such as vanilla and nutmeg.
On the palate, the Château Palmer 2000 is rich and powerful, with a silky texture and well-integrated, ripe tannins. The fruit flavors are deep and concentrated, while mineral and earthy undertones add complexity. The balance between freshness, fruit, and structure is excellent, giving the wine exceptional elegance. The finish is long and elegant, with a lingering harmony of fruit, spice, and subtle toasted notes.
