1991 Palmer, Margaux (1.5L)
SKU #1043683
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Palmer's 1991 is a noteworthy effort. The deep ruby/purple color is followed by aromas of ripe black fruits and new oak. There is excellent definition, a sweet, creamy, medium to full-bodied texture, noticeable fatness, and a lush, concentrated, rich finish.

Wine Spectator
This estate is always very good in a mediocre vintage. Lovely character of vanilla, cherry and berry, firm tannins and a long, silky finish. Drinkable now.

K&L Notes
This is absolutely terrific with a crown roast rack of pork. This tremendous wine shows all sweet fruit with no hard edges, and the silky finishes goes on for 1.5 minutes! 1991 was an off year? Apparently, not along the river! *1/27/09 -update* "PERFECT WINE !" (Clyde Beffa Jr, K&L Bordeaux Buyer)
