Château Palmer--Vintage 1967
Cantenac (Margaux), 3me cru classé
Lot 108 levels: three very top, three top, two upper, one upper/mid, two mid and one low shoulder. Lot 109 levels: six very top, three top and three upper/top shoulder. Lot 110 levels: five very top, two top, three upper and two upper/mid shoulder.
Lots 109-110 in original wooden case
"This wine has been a sleeper of the vintage - always providing surprisingly delicious drinking. The most recent tasting (from a magnum) revealed a wine that was not a blockbuster, rather, the quintessentially elegant style of claret that seems incapable of being replicated in the New World. The color is a mature garnet with considerable rust at the edge. A sweet nose of cedar, fruitcake, berries, and tobacco is followed by a medium-weight, light-styled Pomerol that retains its fresh, ripe fruit, as well as a vibrancy that seems unusual for the vintage. I have a half-dozen tasting notes for the 1967, and they reveal I have consistently found this to be a charming, light-weight, but delicious claret. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted 12/96" Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (1998)
