Note di degustazione
The 1960 Palmer is one of those off-vintage veterans that is better than you might presuppose. With two or three bottles tasted over the years, the nose is fully-mature with scents that can err towards Pommard in character, like a faded movie siren. The palate is light but coherent, with a tapered finish and enough life to keep you happy. Tasted at the Palmer vertical in London in May 2015.

Tasted at the Château Palmer vertical in London, this is my second bottle of 1960 Château Palmer and it confirms my first observation that this is one of the best examples from a forgotten and derided vintage. Fully mature with a light brick hue, it has an almost mature Pommard-like bouquet, faded and elegiac, yet not unattractive. The same goes for the palate that is clean and balanced, light and harmonious, showing no signs of oxidation. It's not going to win "Wine of the Yea," but it might just be the best Claret you will drink from 1960. Tasted May 2015.
