2/16/2013 - Jpacheco Likes this wine: NR1 hour decant. Charcoal, spices and red fruit on the nose; medium bodied with good acidity yet still with some tannins left. I would hold this for +2 years. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

Very opulent wine, with leather and soil in the palate finishing with great tannins. Very persistent on mouth I will definitely look this one up 5 years from now. Tasted the same day as the '08 Palmer and this one felt entirely different. |

9/17/2011 - Jpacheco wrote: NRAromas of cherry, raspberry are mixed with a mineral scent. On the palate I tasted leather and soil. Very, very fresh with lots of tannins and a 30 secs finish. In my opinion it needs to cellar 4-6 more years as it felt a little too tannic but otherwise it is still drinkable now. |
