Note di degustazione
The 1997 Palmer came from two bottles, the first corked. It was the first vintage where they stopped using Cabernet Franc in the blend when it was replaced with Petit Verdot. The second is perfectly sound on the nose, perhaps with a little more fruit intensity than the 2004, with blackberry, crushed violet, iris and undergrowth. The palate is medium-bodied with a decent body, though it dips in the middle. An odd dark chocolate element to this wine (possibly from the oak) just muddles the finish. Drinking perfectly now. Tasted at 67 Pall Mall.

A seductive style of Palmer, the 1997 will have many admirers (assuming they can afford it). It boasts a dark ruby/plum/purple color in addition to a seductive bouquet of sweet berry fruit, and an elegant, medium-bodied, fruit-driven, easy-going, fleshy personality. While there is little weight and density, the wine's harmony is excellent. Drink it over the next 8-9 years.
Classy wine. Lovely berry, plum and floral character. Medium-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, fruity finish. Love to drink this stuff. James Suckling, Wine Spectator, 2000.
