Offered in original wooden case
Château Palmer--Vintage 1982
Cantenac (Margaux), 3me cru classé. Château-bottled
Levels: eleven base of neck or better and one very top-shoulder
Tasting note: This wine has turned out far better than predicted. The 1982 has become more delineated and put on weight. The 1982 is a juicy, complex, Pomerol-inspired effort with abundant black cherry and black currant fruit presented in a medium to full-bodied, plump, straightforward style. Fleshy, fresh, and lively, it should be consumed over the next 7-10 years. 89 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #129, June 2000
