    “1961 Chateau Palmer Bordeaux Magnum - 99 Pts! 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. RP”

    About Chateau Palmer

    Château Palmer is a wine estate located in the Margaux appellation of the Médoc. It was ranked as a third growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, although for many decades it has been consistently rated as one of the best wines in the region.

    Unusually for the Médoc, Château Palmer usually has as much Merlot as Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend (along with a small amount of Petit Verdot), which helps give the wine a fleshy and generous structure. It can be drunk young, but will also reward long cellaring.

    Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats, and different plots are vinified separately to give the winemakers greater control when it comes to blending. The grand vin undergoes around 21 months of barrel aging, with up to 60 percent new oak.
