Château Palmer--Vintage 1978
Cantenac (Margaux), 3me cru classé
In original wooden case
"A lovely wine and a very good 1978. Many notes, seven during the course of the last decade. Seductively rich, ripe, mulberry-like fruit; full, soft and fleshy in its early days. To the extent that I thought that (in 1985) it could not possibly get any better. Apart from an odd 'drying out' note, proving a fascinating companion to '78 Sassicaia and Cheval Blanc at Hugh Johnson's (in 1997) rather vegetal, Merlot-like, distinctive, touch of liquorice', needs drinking. Fully mature, delicious but fading and slightly raw at lunch (1999). Most recently, sweet, attractive, quite good length and risidual tannin and acidity. Otherwise a point." Last noted at the Ch Palmer dinner at Ransome's Dock in London, Feb 2001 **** Best to drink soon. MB, Vintage Wine
