1983 Château Palmer

Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, June 8, 2011 - Dinner at Canlis with Wilfred (Seattle, WA, USA): Booyah! I am a a Bordeaux guy after all. It seems like we were getting twitchier with each bottle, and there was a slightly edgy note on this that hinted at TCA but then quickly became a slightly minty edge. This is just such a bottle of Bordeaux. Perhaps one could call it clumsy after all of the more precise Burg, but it has such glorious secondaries starting to emerge, meaty, smoky, sultry, tobacco, red fruit moving to soy and shiitake. I could have pondered this one for hours. So deeply satisfying.

    Cheers --Mike
