Rich, ripe, lots of botrytis. I loved it. — 4 years ago

Got a great deal on 6 pack of these two Bordeaux greats. Both got scores of 99, but the range of scores was pretty wide for both as well. I know I have to lay them down for 10 years+ but I wanted to try both for a baseline.
The Palmer is showing a lot more than the Ducru. It’s very enjoyable now! Nose is fantastic if a touch muted but still get nice cedar, black cherry, hint of floral, and something herbal. The palate is slate, cherry, blackberry, and currant. Not muted or closed in the least, but the slate thing overlays the fruit. Does that make sense? Help me describe that.
All in all I love this wine. Can’t hardly wait for 10 years from now. Guessing I won’t! — 2 years ago
No wine gets a 10! But my god! This is an amazing Riesling. So good with spicy foods like Jamaican jerk chicken. — 5 years ago
Still absolutely gigantic and wound up, taking a whole day to give dried flowers and blackberry jam in addition to its massive, tongue-stripping, tannic backbone. Structure to lay down for another 25 years, easy. A bit hard to approach and intense now. — 2 years ago
Excellent, would definitely have again. Slightly fruitier than your average dry Sauvignon. Purchased via Naked. — 4 years ago

Tough and compact. Just ripe crunchy strawberries and soaring complex aromatics. One to lay away, but massive potential. — 2 months ago
