Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Aug 23
The 1995 Palmer is a step up in quality over preceding vintages. This gorgeous bouquet has vibrant red fruit, rose petals and violet. A touch of melted road tar comes through with time. Classic Palmer. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, well balanced with good substance. There is a light savory element to this Palmer, with meat juices, thyme and white pepper. It's cohesive, with a good grip on the long finish. This is drinking perfectly now. Tasted at the Palmer vertical at the château.
