Robert Parker (RP) — 86/100 · Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com, 28/02/1997 · Drink 1999-2010
I had hoped this wine would be better, but it has turned out to be a good yet uninspiring Palmer. The medium dark ruby color is followed by a straightforward, sweet, berry-scented nose. In the mouth, the wine is medium-bodied, with decent concentration, some noticeable tannin, and a spicy, short finish. It is a good wine, but disappointing for a Palmer. Anticipated maturity: 1999-2010.
