Château Palmer--Vintage 1961
Cantenac (Margaux), 3me cru classé
Four slightly corroded and damaged capsules. Bin-soiled and faded labels. Sichel slip labels. Levels: four mid and two mid/low-shoulder Tasting Note: The 1961 Palmer has long been considered to be a legend from this vintage, and its reputation is well-deserved. The wine is at its apogée, with an extraordinary, sweet, complex nose with aromas of flowers, cassis, toast, and minerals. It is intensely concentrated, offering a cascade of lavishly ripe, full-bodied, opulent fruit, soft tannins, and a voluptuous finish. This is a decadent Palmer, unparalleled since in quality with the exception of 1983 and 1989. 99 Points. Robert Parker. Wine Advocate 95 (Oct 1994)
