2004 Palmer, Margaux which is done by the95 points Neal Martin: "This is a stunning Palmer considering the growing season and for this writer, on par with Chateau Margaux. It has a deep garnet purple hue. The nose is divine: pure black fruits, bilberry, cedar and a touch of iodine all with fabulous definition. The palate is full bodied with very fine tannins, modern in style but exuding pedigree and class. Very refined on the finish with just a slight peppery edge. Love this wine, love it!
