Stunning. Perhaps most complex and delightful wine I have ever drank. Velvet, earth, red cherry. Paired with prime filets cooked on big green egg. Memorable.

Promisingly open fragrant nose, the palate is fully resolved with profile of clear cut bright red berry flauvors, cedar, ink, moist earth, hints of black olives and spiciness, fairly light bodied but nicely structured and firm, attractively fragile aftertaste. By no means a lesser wine despite the vintage. This is in a beautiful place right now, a classic and an elegant claret.

Nose: Nice plum, boysenberry, violet and cedar nose that is classic palmer. Unmistakable really. Palate: Thinner than the top vintages, but all of the nice dark fruited notes, precise acidity and nuance of leather, herbs, cedar and violet. Finish: Falls short on lenght, but surely a great effort.
For the vintage this is a really nice wine. As with all things Palmer prices are on the rise, so not sure I would pay current market prices. However, where I found it a few years ago it was a good buy

Wine Workshop: Chateau Palmer (Benoit): Unfortunate but this is exactly the bottle in this tasting I would have chosen to sacrifice.
