“The 1970 vintage of Palmer remains one of my absolute favorites from the estate in the post-war period and it has been drinking with great distinction for several decades already, but shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. The bouquet is all perfumed Palmer magic, delivering a beautiful blend of plums, black cherries, summer truffles, a beautiful base of soil tones, a nice touch of chipotle pepper, cigar smoke, nutskin and a topnote of lavender. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and velvety, with stunning complexity and lift, tangy acids, faded tannins and fine focus and grip on the long, pure and utterly refined finish. Great wine.”
