It's been a long time since I've tasted more that a couple of Palmers at a time, so I rounded up a few local Bordeaux fans to help me with the task. We threw in the '83 Margaux as a comparison.
As always with older wines, there are surprises, some good, some bad. Fortunately, the prized '61 performed well (maybe too well). I've had much better experiences with the '83 Palmer in the past and this bottle of '83 Margaux proved far superior. I'm still an admirer of Château Palmer. Now I need to taste some younger examples.
1995 Louis Roederer Champagne Cristal Brut 93 Points
France, Champagne
Fully mature and ready, the '95 Cristal is warm and inviting. Gingery and fruity, very slightly low acidity, easy to drink. Not at all sweet or cloying.
