Palmer - Margaux 1967 (Reconditioned, Bottle Damage) Orkney Islands The 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon Herb

The 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon Herb Lamb Vineyard (which has been bottled and will be released in 1996) should turn out to be one of the most exceptional wines of the vintage

This somewhat rustic effort is very Corton in basic character and a wine that's going to require patience

and oodles of truffles as well as creme de cassis

A ripe but cool and highly complex nose of moderately wooded aromas of violets

There is again excellent volume to the sleek but powerful and concentrated middle weight plus flavors that exude a fine bead of minerality on the moderately austere finish that delivers flat out superb persistence
