PALMER
Palmer has long endeared itself to wine lovers who consistently pay prices that surpass those of its higher cru contemporaries. No doubt one of the sexiest wines of the left bank, Palmer adds more Merlot than any other Margaux for the combination of fleshy fat fruit tamed by a quintessential Margaux nose. Extremely long maceration periods and juice that is never filtered give additional dimension to the wines.
Château Palmer--Vintage 1961
Cantenac (Margaux), 3me cru classé
Both lots levels: into neck; recent Mähler Besse release, excellent appearance. Lot 554: Mähler Besse neck labels
Both lots in original wooden cases; lot 553 has new lid
"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 apogee, 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." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #95 (Oct 1994)
