Château Palmer--Vintage 1979
Cantenac (Margaux), 3ème cru classé
Levels: top shoulder; corroded capsules
In original wooden case
"Continuing its run of well above average wines. Half a dozen consistent notes from the mid-1980s: glorious colour; fleshy ripe fruitiness on both nose and - for a '79 - on palate. Endorsed by my most recent note though its tannin now laid bare - a lean, attenuated, spicy, teeth-gripping finish. Good length. Needs food." Last noted at the 'exponential' (I keep having to look this word up) tasting in New York, Dec 1998 *** MB, Vintage Wine
