The Silverado Cellar-Wines from the prestigious cellar of a Napa Valley Restauranteur. Almost entirely purchased on release and stored in a purpose built, underground cellar.
“I hadn't tasted the 1961 Palmer for several years, and at this stage it is a little fragile, so it was an immense pleasure to drink a bottle that lived up to every bit of its legendary reputation. Offering up a complex bouquet of ripe wild berries, iris and candied violets mingled with notions of black truffle, pipe tobacco and sweet soil tones, it's medium-bodied, soft and supple, with a sweet core of fruit, melted tannins and ripe acids. Concluding with a long, intensely sapid finish, this sumptuous, impeccably balanced Palmer is indeed one of the great wines of the vintage. Incidentally, I sent the dregs to the local enological laboratory, and incredibly, the wine checks in at a mere 11% alcohol; yet such is its intensity of flavors and evident ripeness that tasters invariably guess a higher figure.” (100 pts. William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Aug. 2022)
