Saturday, May 28, 2022 - I’m sure Nutty08 will chime in, but hope he doesn’t see my thoughts first…

A taste, generously shared, out of the decanter, so only a snapshot from me, but I think this is the real deal. An unusually low crop with tiny berries, and you can feel that - weighty and intense on the palate, highly energetic, with polished tannins and gentle extraction. I perceive some of the traditional Margaux florals pressed within the mille-feuille that this wine is.

I’ve had the advantage of tasting 18 Conseillante, Figeac, Issan, Chevalier, and Rauzan Segla this weekend. Is this Palmer fundamentally different? Not especially. Is it the wine of the vintage? So far, emphatically. I think it will hold together well, and give a lot more in the years to come.
