Château Palmer--Vintage 1978
Cantenac (Margaux), 3me cru classé. Château-bottled
Excellent labels. Levels base of neck or better
Parcel: lots 832 to 833
Tasting note: the 1978 vintage was saved from disaster by a fine, late Autumn, but not every Médoc château produced good wine (unripe Cabernets marring several bottlings). The Palmer is a great success - in part, no doubt, thanks to the 40 Merlot in its blend. Clear ruby-red, with fine aromas of spice, blackcurrant and undergrowth, this is now well-softened, charming, and probably at its peak. A.H.
