Sunday, February 25, 2024 - Don’t think I have finished a bottle in worse condition than this 70 Palmer. Cork sunken in and leaking fairly recently into the OWC, hence low shoulder. Managed to remove the cork with the Durand and with the white mold on top of the cork too. Initially moldy notes with plenty of mushroom on nose and attack but not outright oxidized. After a few hours of slow ox, this blew off though and the wine was still holding up, showing dark fruit, integrated tannins and a short finish. Bottles in good condition will show much better for sure
