Château Palmer--Vintage 1966
Cantenac (Margaux), 3me cru classé
Good labels all with original tissues. Levels seven base of neck or better and four top-shoulder
In original wooden case
Tasting Note: Exceptionally good, not quite the '61 but superbly balanced. A very good bottle noted at a pre-sale tasting in New York (1999) and, best of the lot, the fourth and oldest vintage of Palmer served by Michael Le Marchant: it was fully mature-looking with slight orange tinge; a fabulous - no other word - bouquet; sweet, lovely flavour, balance and finish. Last noted at the Le Marchants', Aug 1998 ***** M.B.
