Very Dusty on the nose - so dusty I thought it might be corked - TCA but it wasn’t a deal breaker. Unmistakabley Bordeaux. Some barnyard reduction which blew off. Very harmonious and balanced on the palate. No berry fruit - more cedar chest of drawers. After 2 hours strong aromas of Capsicum (red peppers). I am a big fan of Chateau Palmer. At a 2009 International Cabernet tasting I attended, the Palmer was a standout. In a reclassification it should be at least a 2nd Growth. For this wine no further cellaring required.

Mid Crimson with a tawny rim. Enticing aromas of Cassis, blueberries, dust, cedar and memories of McBarens Plum Cake Pipe Tobacco when I smoked a pipe at University. Medium fine tannins. Fruit drying out to a savoury delicious Claret. No further cellaring necessary. This is why one cellars Bordeaux.

Savory stewed tomato, ox, herbaceous, hints of black pepper, great acid and tannin/structure integration, still pretty astringent. Aromatic and still lively
