Chateau Palmer 1999

Date: 19 September 2006
Venue: Charissme Pavillion

A beautiful Margaux with complex and fragrant nose, powerful fruit with just the right amount of oakiness. Colour was an intense ruby compared to the faded brick red of the Duluc. Palate was rich, smooth and full with currant-jam like flavour and a long elegant finish.

The photos of the Palmer and Duluc was taken with my mobile phone under poor lighting so the quality is terrible. I should get the Sony Ericsson K800i Cybershot which comes with a proper flash.

Rating: excellent
