1986 Chateau Palmer Margaux
DECENT 86
Generally a lot of Bordeaux 1986 may not be ready to drink, eg Mouton, Margaux, Cheval Blanc Saint Emilion... Etc, but this Chateau Palmer was more than ready, surprisingly! I believed it was most likely the high Merlot content that made it more ready.
Intense nose with vanilla, implying they must have used a lot of oak for this vintage which was atypical for Palmer. However, it adds dimension to the wine; body was rounded and mellow although the fruit intensity was quite strong. Very approachable now.
