Château Palmer--Vintage 1970
Cantenac (Margaux), 3me cru classé
Levels:four bottom neck or better, seven very top and one top shoulder
"Not yet fully mature, the 1970 Palmer is one of the great wines of the vintage. It exhibits a dark, opaque garnet color and an emerging, fabulously complex, exotic nose of licorice, overripe plums and black currants, soy, cedar, and minerals. Rich and concentrated, with medium to full body, a sweet inner core of fruit, firm but silky tannin, and a long, rich finish, this remains a youthful, potentially superb Palmer. While approachable, it will benefit from another 3-5 years of cellaring and will keep through the first 10-15 years of the next century." Robert Parker, Bordeaux, Third Edition
