Chateau Palmer 1961 (2 bts) 1967 (1 bt and demi bt) Margaux, 3eme Cru Classe u. one 1961 high-mid shoulder, all others high shoulder or better; all labels missing; capsules have been cut and shortened "Tasted 9 Times With Consistent Notes "The 1961 Palmer has long been considered to be a legend from this vintage, and its reputation is well-deserved. The wine is at its apogee, with an extraordinary, sweet, complex nose with aromas of flowers, cassis, toast, and minerals. It is intensely concentrated, offering a cascade of lavishly ripe, full-bodied, opulent fruit, soft tannins, and a voluptuous finish. This is a decadent Palmer, unparalleled since in quality with the exception of 1983 and 1989." R. Parker, 99 pts. 10/94 3 bottles 1 demi bottle
