Details
Château Palmer--Vintage 1986
Cantenac (Margaux), 3ème cru classé
Levels: into neck; seven signs of old seepage
In original wooden case
"...the 1986 is tightly-knit and closed. It reveals an impressive dark ruby/purple color, with a slight lightening at the edge. Aromatically, the wine is tight, with some black fruit, floral, truffle, and cigar box scents emerging after extended breathing. On the palate, the wine possesses excellent ripeness and richness, but all of it is submerged under layers of high tannin...I have high hopes that it is going to merit the affixed numerical score, and perhaps even turn out to be outstanding. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2015. Last tasted 9/97" Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd ed. (1998)
