9.1

I miss the rusticity of the past, but there's no denying that this is cleverly made. Sweet, grainy and accessible tannins, pure cherry fruit, hints of blackberries and freshly cut oregano; this is nicely updated. I like it a lot, but there's just something missing... — 11 years ago

Black fruit (blackberry, cassis), herbal (mint, dill), sweet spice (cloves, ginger), pungent spice (black pepper, liquorice), oak (vanilla, toast, smoke), kernel (hazelnut, coffee), animal (leather, blood), mineral (earth, tar). Serious Cab, complex, extremely youthful (tastes like a current release), structured (like old-school Napa or Rhone/Bordeaux) and built to last decades, paired now with grilled leg of lamb, a great wine to drink when you haven't been wowed by a Cab lately. — 12 years ago

Went sublimely with the roast leg of lamb. Also simply a spectacular wine. — 13 years ago

Missing some brightness, but this beauty is still chugging along. Granny Smith apples dipped in Butterscotch pudding. Probably should have waited a day to drink after opening. — 11 years ago

2007 vintage. Missing the angular crispness of the '02 and '05, but otherwise great. — 11 years ago

9.7

The legendary Palmer 99. 2 bottles drank with leg of lamb for dad's birthday weekend. Not a massive wine by any means. Very drinkable but will keep for another 10 years at least. Both corks in good nick. — 12 years ago
