Another vintage where Palmer excelled beyond their 3rd growth status with a
great success. This has a spicier, meatier edge than the 1975 and again is at
its plateau now.

"One of the Medocs most successful 1978s, this wine has reached full maturity,
but it reveals no signs of an early demise. The color is a dark ruby/garnet
with only slight amber at the edge. The nose offers up black truffle, cassis,
smoked herbs, and meaty aromas. In the mouth, there is a green pepper quality
to the rich, sweet fruit. This medium-bodied, silky-textured wine is more
spice-driven than most Palmers, but attractive and mouthfilling. "
