Palmer 199486 points Robert Parkers Wine Advocate, February 1997 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.
