Antonio Galloni

"The 1966 Palmer is probably justifiably eclipsed by the legendary 1961, but this is one of the greats. Several bottles tasted, the last at the Palmer vertical in London. Introverted black fruit commingles with sous-bois and autumn leaves, though there is more vigor compared to the 1970. Lovely delineation. The palate is medium-bodied, and like many 1966s, there is strictness and linearity aplenty. Yes, there is a touch of austerity, yet the focus, freshness and precision on the slightly ferrous finish is quite tantalizing." -Vinous

"Tasted at the Château Palmer vertical in London, the 1966 Château Palmer has long been considered one of the finest wines of that vintage. Perhaps over-shadowed by the 1961, it remains a marvellous Margaux that continues to give pleasure. I tasted three different bottles of the 1966, two bottles side by side at the vertical tasting in London, though I have chosen a bottle subsequently tasted in Bordeaux the following March since this was served blind. The nose is wonderful: dusky black fruit, cedar, autumn woodland scents, perhaps more Saint Julien-like than the 1961, which is unequivocally 'Margaux.' The palate is medium-bodied with sufficient fruit, very fine tannins and perfectly judged acidity. It is a different character to the 1961. It does not have the same flair and profundity, but it is what you would describe as 'proper Claret' - a little austere and conservative, but harmonious, fresh and amazingly long; and I noticed a nuanced ferrous element on the aftertaste. It has always been an outstanding Palmer that deserves respect and great bottles continue to shine."

"A wonderfully complex, nimble and mature showing of Palmer that perfectly encapsulates its consistently seductive style. The depth and power of the nose relative to its age is stunning. Aromas of dark chocolate, sandalwood, tobacco leaf and sun-warmed stones. Impressively concentrated and plump on the palate, where dried blackberries, scorched earth and cocoa powder appear. Clearly well into its life but with enough stuffing and power coiled up to age another two decades."
