Château Palmer 1961
Cantenac (Margaux), 3ème cru classé
Corroded, damaged capsules. Bin-soiled, faded labels, slightly detached. Levels: one upper, two mid/upper, one mid-shoulder
Tasting note: 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)
