Palmer 2004
CRITIC REVIEWS
Jancis Robinson
Luminous crimson. Sweet and slightly curranty on the nose. Lots of fresh fruit. Then crunchy tannins. In a riper vintage this formula might be unpleasantly OTT but this works.
Julia Harding MW
Deep crimson brightness. Sweetly oaky – intense and immediately recognisable bread dough aroma. Underneath that there’s fine pure upright cassis but also sweet spice and plum and tobacco. Already surprisingly complex. Intense but fleeting floral perfume as that breadiness disappears. On the palate, masses of liquorice and sweet bright expressive fruit. Red and black fruit. Dramatic fruit even though the spice of the oak is still very clear. Toasty sweet spice and coffee. Rich and opulent fruit. Tannins are finely textured and a little firm but velvety. Long way to go though already generous. Delicious. Great finesse and fine-boned though it does show the oak a little more than the 2006. (JH)
