Tasting notes
The delicious 1987 Palmer exhibits no sign of cracking up. This ripe, nearly opulent wine, possesses a solid ruby color, more toasty new oak aromas than I would expect, low acidity, and medium body. A charming, deliciously fruity wine, it will keep longer than most 1987s. Anticipated maturity: Now-1999. Last tasted, 1/93.
