Quite unfairly drunk next to Tardieu's 1999 Cote Rotie VV monster, we tasted the Châteauneuf du pape 2004 Vieilles Vignes afterwards, made from 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah, it has a lovely milk chocolate, date and fig compote nose with a bit of cigar smoke. I also found some Provençal hinterland of thyme 91 points. This all went perfectly with Palms' signature USDA Prime Rib Beef...

Piercing nose with very upfront fruits. Tangy, zingy, nice acid lift. Very attractive aromas. Much drier and tannin in the palate than the nose suggests. Good underlying fruits and a spicy tanninc finish. Needs time.
