Friday, April 26, 2024 - At the office…
Ruby color, shows more floral acumen vs the 2009 with more fruit. here, mineral first, then fruit and floral. feels more classic
Later that evening. More astutely black fruit aromas and more concealed than the 2009 Palmer. Grilled bread aromas. Medium plus tannin still, really coiled. Ripe tannin, but still generous and in need of time to resolve. Approachable all the same. Mineral laced palate and loads of freshness, not feeling hard, but just in need of space/time/air.
Day 2, wonderfully harmonious. Just needs air/time to come together: blackberry fruit palate, medium plus acid.
