Tasting Notes
Purple-ruby color of very high intensity.
Expressive nose of very ripe dark berries, bracken, cinnamon, wood, peony, violet, smoke, and fresh mint.
Perfectly ripe fruitiness, full, tender tannins and lots of freshness in
the mouth. Elegance is the prevailing note here with an ideal
expression of the terroir. The finish is already long and gorgeous.
Perfect balance is in view but still requires a little time to emerge
and to let the pure drinking pleasure take hold. Peak: 2010-2025.

Fairly deep color. Gorgeous smoky, floral nose is flamboyant and
seductive. It?ˉs bright, intense, with rich cherry fruit, mint, and
tobacco. The wonderful fruit character on the nose returns in the mouth;
it?ˉs soft and velvety, drinking beautifully right now! The 2004 is not
one of the more complex Palmers, more floral and delicate than powerful,
but everyone loved it. The terrific performance of the 2004 was easily
the biggest surprise of the entire tasting.

Aromas of licorice, tar and mineral follow through to a full-bodied
palate, with silky tannins and a medium finish. A very pretty wine
already. Falls a little short, but still outstanding. Best after 2009.
