1966 Chateau Palmer, Margaux
Posted: 13:52 Tue 16 Jul 2013
50% merlot, 22% cabernet sauvignon, 16% petit verdot, 12% cabernet franc. Brown, with a hint of red and full of fine particulate. Cedar wood and cigars dominate the pronounced nose. Wonderful to sniff and smell. Balanced texture on the palate, with meat juices and dried meat and perhaps even some dried raisins. Lovely layering and good intensity. Terrific aftertaste, full of mature citrus fruit that fades quickly to a lower level that then persists well. Delicious, but one to drink up slowly. 90/100.
