It has a well-defined nose: red berries, sage and a hint of fennel, expressive and terroir-driven. It gains intensity in the glass. The palate is very well defined with red cherry and cranberry on the entry, giving way to cedar and sous-bois on the autumnal, very \"classic\" finish. I was not the only one bowled over by the quality of this wine, shocked when its vintage was revealed. Having never tasted it before, it constitutes one of the finest Left Bank wines that I have tasted from the somewhat disregarded 1993 vintage. Tasted May 2015.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"sc-jMZVPV jBWMMx\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeil Martin, Vinous, March 2022 - 93P:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1993 Palmer is definitely one of the best wines of a vintage that I have ever been fond of. With dark berry fruit, cola and rose petals on the nose and touches of black truffle merging with time, this has good vigor and definition. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine grip and a sense of symmetry and focus that set it apart. Slightly granular in texture towards the finish, entirely sustained and persistent in the mouth, this Palmer is \u003cem\u003eà point\u003c\/em\u003e. Note that in magnum, it is even better!
