The colour remains firm, inky purple with a dark center. I have previously rated the 1983 as one of the greatest Palmer's tasted in my lifetime. The 1961 eclipses the 83 with depth, complexity and sheer class which is not a easy statement to make. Aromas, changing at time intervals, range from cedar, new leather, heavily smoked meat, dried mushroom and crushed woody herbs. On the palate, the wine has reached the peak of maturity, balance is nothing short of perfection. Full bodied and decadent, the weight and pure openness of this Cabernet can only be admired and applauded. Truly, one of the most memorable and incredible wines I have tasted to date.
