I've been drinking 2006 Palmer and Les Forts de Latour after 2 hours decanted and have been finding them very smooth indeed

I think the 2006 big boys would be premature now. I was just surprised when testing some 2006's how they've hit their stride. Good bang for buck and drinkable now I find '98, '01, 04.Kindest regards,

An enjoyable weekend and more
