Any thoughts on Palmer ’97? Recently, at a vertical tasting with the ’89 and the ’97 it showed as light (as expected) but mature. ‘Drink now’ was our conclusion. In Hugh Johnson’s ‘Pocket Wine Guide 2007′ the Palmer ’97 is simply dropped from the list of vintages, and his general comment on Bordeaux ’97 is that it has already faded.

I drank my ’83s too young (10 years), I’ve started ’89s now, but I think these should be given more time. Have I left the’97s too long?

very nice trip , i’d like to do the same. I have plans for Romanee Conti, Ausone, Cheval Blanc in the next months and let you know. just one thing : i have followed, tasted and enjoyed wines from Syrah, Cabernet and also Pinot noir, from hot or normal years in Rhone, Argentina or Switzerland, using micro-ox, and i don’t think this tecnic is only helpfulll when you have too much green tannins, but also increase quality with top phenolic composition wines. It changes a litlle bit the typology of the wine, but a lot of wines dreamer like those type of wines. i certainly need 10 years more to have complete conclusions, but i’m in this way. i’d like you to meet me and make such tastings of 2000 to 2005 vintages of such wines I have in my cellar. best regards. see my website http://www.intellioeno.com to see my activity – sorry only in french for the moment
