Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Château Palmer--Vintage 1961
Cantenac (Margaux), 3me cru classé
Corroded capsule. Very faded label. Sichel slip label. Level upper-shoulder
Tasting note: One of the top wines of the vintage and unquestionably the greatest ever Palmer. Well over two dozen notes, all nothing its fleshiness and extra dimensions. Two recent notes: appearance still fairly deep with a 'warm' mature mahogany rim; superb bouquet. Its perfume exceptionally fragrant and penetrating, mulberry-ripe fruit, sublimely rich and totally unmistakable; on the palate sweet, fleshy yet lean, soft fruit flavour, rich, perfectly balanced. Last tasted May 2006. ****** (6 stars). M.B.
