Château Palmer--Vintage 1959
Cantenac (Margaux), 3ème cru classé
Levels: into neck; two very slightly protruding corks, one lightly nicked label
"Also very popular, and not just because of its English name, bottled extensively by merchants. A superb, ripe, fleshy, spicy well-muscled magnum in 1989; alas, in 1994, a corked bottle which, in any case, would have been thrashed by the '61. Most recently, medium deep, fully mature; classic, cedary bouquet; superb sweetness and ripeness, lovely flavour, gloriously rich and harmonious. Last noted at the Farr Vintners/M/uahler-Besse dinner at Ransome's Dock, Feb 2001 **** MB, Vintage Wine
