Chateau Palmer Dinner

1983 vs, 1989 Chateau Palmer

Lovely starter.

• 1990 Moët & Chandon Champagne Cuvée Dom Pérignon 91 Points

  France, Champagne

  Nose of nuts, earth, and oxidized apple, same on the palate, medium/big body, tired but tasty and nutty, very rich fruit, almost mouth filling, definitely time to drink up, and a long finish.

Went well with the Filet Mignon.

• 1983 Château Palmer 98 Points

  France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux

  Nose of mint, black berry, cassis, and tobacco, same on the palate, big body, delicious, very tasty, rich fruit, mouth filling fruit, opened nicely, at its best 75 minutes into dinner, to me better than the 1989, although two other members liked the 1989 better, time to drink up although will easily last another 10 years, and a long, long, long, flavorful finish and flavorful aftertaste.

  Nose of tobacco, black berry, and black cherry, hint of a small amount of soft tannins on the mid palate, big body but less body than the 1983, intense fruit, lovely fruit, after 75 minutes it was almost gorgeous, this had 2 first place votes, long, long finish, nose to me was its weak point.

Great White Burgundy.

• 2016 Les Tourelles de la Crée Montagny 1er Cru 90 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte Chalonnaise, Montagny 1er Cru

  Supplied by Alex as his current find and tasted after the Chateau Palmer. Nose of minerals, hint of spice and citrus, lovely on the nose, same on the palate, medium/big body, mouth filling fruit, very mineral driven, opened nicely in the glass and is near its drinking peak, near term drinking for 3 to 5 years, and a long finish, very nice White Burgundy, all of us agreed this is nice Premier Cru Quality and good QPR.
