Château Palmer

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1983

9.5

Violets, violets and more violets aromatically, after sitting in the decanter for 15 minutes, this wine decided to show its still youthful tannin, likely to inform me that it was still way too young to drink, long finish, but ideally needs more cellaring, one of my favorite Bordeaux ever, I have some more bottles so will wait on those, amazing!! — 3 days ago

Never had the ‘83! (I had no $$ when these futures were offered or when released 🤷) Said to be legendary!

@Tom Casagrande, I purchased a case of this on futures after some of the wine guys I knew in NYC in the 1980s touted Palmer — one guy was a doctor who had cellared Palmer for decades served 1961 & 1966 Palmer in splits at a wine dinner in the Village, blew my socks off, he said the 1983 would be the next GREAT Palmer and I just listened and bought (as you know, those 1980s Bordeaux were not super expensive). I opened one of these 3-4 years ago with 1982 Pichon-Lalande and a few other outstanding 1980s Bordeaux, and that bottle of 1983 Palmer blew everything away — this bottle showed more tannic structure, though amazing violet aromatics, and definitely needs more cellaring. I LOVE Palmer!!

@Tom Casagrande, one other LOL about this Palmer yesterday — I asked my wine friend to open and decant, he pulled out his Durand — and the bottom 1/4 of the cork decided it’d rather stay in the bottle!! That’s why I like the olde English tradition of super-heated Port tongs to take the glass above the neck off that way!! 🤔🤷😂

Echantillon Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2024

Alessandro Dalle Carbonare

9.5

So deep and focused. Dense and feminine. in the mouth has good structure, never sharp or edgy.
Very accessible and lean.
Just missing that little bit of extra length in the aftertaste to reach a full 96.
But overall great, precise and beautiful wine.

Opaque garnet/purple.
Nose of black currant, sour black cherry, dry rose petals, forest floor.
Perfectly balanced acid for age worthiness. Gritty to velvety tannins. Opened too soon. Enjoyed over the course of a week:) decades of aging potential. — a month ago

Nice experience but not worth the money. Strong initial funk that eventually gave way to some fruit. Silky mouth feel but so many better wines for less money. — 4 months ago

Wow @Andrew McIntyre, I never knew Palmer was doing a blanc!?

Andrew McIntyre

@Doug Powers yes but its not your traditional white Bordeaux and more a somewhat random cuvee. Like i said: nice to try and experience but wouldnt necessarily recommend

Grands Terroirs Champagne Blend 2012

Jay Kline

9.2

Popped and poured into red Solo cups. The 2012 “Grands Terroirs” pours a straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, this is intensely autolytic with notes of fresh, toasted brioche, baked apple, raspberry, lemon curd and limestone minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. From magnum. Drink now through 2037. Disgorged June 2021. — 4 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. No formal notes. The 2012 is a lovely, rich, autolytic and toasty example of Champagne with good character and typicity. True to house style. Drink now through 2037. — 6 months ago
