Château Palmer--Vintage 1966
Cantenac (Margaux), 3me cru classé
Recorked at the Château in 2001
In original wooden case
"Exceptionally good, not quite the '61 but superbly balanced. Thanks partly to my longstanding friendship with the much-missed Peter Sichel, many notes, in fact exactly 22. All good including excellent Army & Navy Stores, Berry Bros and Quellyn Roberts (of Chester). Several recently including an interesting pair at a dinner hosted by Jim Hood in Bristol, one château-bottled, the other by The Wine Society. They differed, the latter looking more mature, its nose taking ages to open up. It was sweet, rich, straightforward and tannic. I actually preferred The Wine Society bottling, finding the bouqet more attractive and spicy; a fraction too sweet but a very interesting flavour, lovely, stylish. A very good bottle noted at a pre-sale tasting in New York (1999) and, best of the lot, the fourth and oldest vintage of Palmer served by Michael Le Marchant: it was fully mature-looking with slight orange tinge; a fabulous - no other word - bouquet; sweet, lovely flavour, balance and finish. Last noted at the Le Marchants', Aug 1998 *****" MB, Vintage Wine
