PS to my prior tasting note. There was a leftover glass on Day 1, which I covered and refrigerated. I just finished it on Day 3 and it was sublime. So there’s more longevity than indicated in my prior tasting note. Added a point to my score.
Retains plenty of colour, deep; fragrant, elegant, some red fruits remain; deft palate, lovely weight, real depth, integrated; genteel, extended finish. Classical & classy, aristocratic even. This will provide pleasure for 10+ years, easily. (12.5%).

Tasted blind. Notes of allspice, cloves, blackcurrant. Cedar, black fruit and mint on the palate, fine but persistent tannins, feels young compared to the 1999 LMHB that was drunk next to it.

Pnp. A gorgeous wine straight out of the gate, with all the classic aroma and flavour you would expect from a very good vintage of Palmer. clearly nearing end of its prime window though and it is probably a good thing the bottle didnt last more than about 45 mins in our glasses. will look to younger vintages (01/04?) for slightly better value Palmer to drink now I think.

Drinking perfectly with classic Margaux florals. Could be WOTV. Finish goes on and on. Drink now.
