We just love this fantastic mouth field of Mulberry… With great balance and finish. We give it higher ratings this time because it's paired with an exquisite roasted pumpkin and sausage risotto with Sage a match made in heaven — 9 years ago

Wonderfully tangy and mulberry and leather and a hint of farmyard. Great acidity and a very spicy finish. — 10 years ago

1989 vintage. Smokey, luscious and deep. Cedar, leather, cinnamon and mulberry - plum and cherry. On the palate, medium plus body and acidity, great tannic structure - integrated. Good concentration and long finish. Epic and big while still moreish. At its peak. NB: with air, very floral. I suspect this particular bottle was underperforming compared to other bottles from this producer and vintage. — 10 years ago

I bought 6 of these and wish I had bought more. Deeply colored, nearly enough to permanently stain whatever you spill it on. Brambley, licorice mulberry. Quite complex for the price. Unique. — 11 years ago

What a nose. Mulberry, iodene, blood and iron. Gorgeous rounded deliciousness. Absolutely delicious fruit and balance. Still so young. Crazy length- blue and blueberry. Just great. Will this ever get old? — 9 years ago

Like many 1988s. Is starting to open up. Got that Palmer mulberry Merlot quality. Lacks refinement compared to the better Palmer vintages. — 10 years ago
