Bright red cherry, dried meat, olives, white pepper, black pepper, white flowers. Soft silky texture with balanced acidity to smooth tannin feel. Long finish, slightly bitter kick towards the end. Awesome! — 11 years ago

Drinking the 1991 in 2016 after over 2 hours of decanting. Wonderful light sherry type nose with a hint of pepper and quite brick red colour around the edges. Such a soft texture on the tongue though still a little astringency on the finish. Very good. — 11 years ago

It's Bordeaux O'Clock. 81 Palmer oppulent, refined texture, fresh, layered & yummy! A bit of extra Pre-Parker finesse perhaps? #FilthyOldVino — 12 years ago
