Note di degustazione
White pepper, raspberry leaf, dancing minerality, fine-boned tannins, rosebud and peony aromatics. As is often the case with the 2007 vintage, the less dense fruit means that a smokey, grilled character is emphasised, which makes this an extremely appealing wine that is ready to drink now, and will give a ton of enjoyment over the next few years, but is less for the long term than many of the vintages in this vertical. Harvest September 20 to October 2, 60% new oak.

Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Palmer has an opulent bouquet for the vintage, something almost Mediterranean tincturing the lifted red berry fruit laced with sage and even a suggestion of oregano. The palate is medium-bodied with silky smooth tannin, a fine bead of acidity, gentle and caressing but with a powerful, almost heady finish. If you are looking for an extravagant wine this vintage, then Palmer is the place to come, though maybe it has just dispensed a little of its luster since I last tasted it. Tasted February 2017.
Greyish garnet. Still a surprising amount of dark fruit on the nose, subtly fragrant. That same fruit on the palate but with a graphite quality adding elegance. A bit lean overall. (JH)
