This wine has consistently been attractive, elegant, and fruity, with a deep ruby color that is now revealing some amber and orange at the edge. The wine's low acidity has resulted in an up-front forwardness, but there is neither the depth nor extract one expects in a top vintage of Palmer. Nevertheless, it is a well-made, richly fruity, fragrant wine with no hard edges that is ideal for present consumption.
Greatness in subtlety. Clearly focused black cherry and vanilla character. It's full-bodied with medium tannins and a juicy, fruity finish.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 18/20 points.
