Note di degustazione
The 2004 Palmer is not one of my favorite vintages of that decade, though this is one of the best bottles. It lacks intensity and harmony on the nose, with prominent tobacco/cigar smoke scents and just a hint of boot polish. The palate is medium-bodied and spicy on the entry, with a touch of licorice that tapers toward the off-dry finish. I would broach bottles in the next three to four years. Tasted at the Lia's Wings/book dinner at Medlar restaurant.

The 2004 Palmer has a slightly disjointed bouquet, earthy red and black fruit, tobacco and cigar box, rather hollow when compared to Palmer’s other vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, slightly dry tannins, fine acidity and "old school" in style with a light finish. This is not going to go anywhere, so drink this soon. Tasted at 67 Pall Mall
A more classic year than the 2003 or 2005 on either side, really showing beautifully right now, still young but full of promise, tension and juice. This is an extremely elegant, balanced Palmer, with dark berry fruits, cassis and blackberry, touch of campfire smoke, salinity and plenty of juice running through the muscular tannins. Plays with you on the finish, stretching out its flavours, salivating, totally gorgeous, suprisingly so for a vintage that can get overlooked. One that you could happily open now, or hold for another decade or more. Harvest September 27 to October 12, 60% new oak. Thomas Duroux's first vintage as director.
