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.

Medium color. Somewhat high-toned black cherry nose is currently dominated by lead pencil and cedar. Gentle and flavorful; has alluring perfume and sweetness in the mouth but less fat than the '95. Ripe, persistent on the finish. A very pretty Palmer.
