WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
A beauty. Seductive, with currant, berry, tobacco, cedar and flowers on the nose. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, caressing finish. A joyous Palmer.
TASTING NOTES:
The nose is complex with red cherries, allspice and sous-bois, tertiary scents developing as it opens in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine balance, not the most complex 1990 and not a patch on say Chteau Margaux 1990, yet there is precision here and a pleasant savory finish that maintains precision.
