"This is one of the all-time greatest Palmers for its complexity and finesse.Intense aromas of smoked meats and dark fruits plus hints of tobacco meet a silky,almost buttery texture of great yet beautiful concentration that combines in superb balance with a plateful of fruit and still mouthwatering acidity.The tannins are round and fat and the finish is long and mesmerizing".

"Tasted at the Chateau Palmer vertical in London,this was the finest 1983 Chateau Palmer that I have encountered.The nose is ethereal with a wonderful definition: mint-tinged red berry fruit,cedar,dried rose petals and very subtle acid tang of a November bonfire.It is the definition and purity that is beguiling and yes,it is reminiscent of the 1961.The palate is beautifully balanced and lithe in the mouth.Like previous bottles,there is a Burgundy-like sensibility about this Palmer,sensual in the mouth with a crystalline finish that will have you reaching for the glass for another sip.Robert Parker stated that the 1983 was the best vintage following the epochal 1961 and I concur.This 1983 Palmer is probably at its peak now,although I have no doubt that it will continue to cruise at high altitude for many years".

"Strong ruby with a developed rim.Very subtle and delicate.This is fully mature wine! So gentle and gorgeous! Stunning sweet fruit and such concentration and length.Dense,with a hint of mint,but truly great.Strong".
