The Palm (Houston) Tasted Monday, August 13, 2012 by THA with 521 views
Brought two vintages of SHL to The Palm for dinner.
Excellent. Exceeded my expectations. Early maturity has opened on this wine. Sweet, smooth tannins. Ripe. Pure. Fresh. Impressive weightlessness across the palate.

Similar aromas and flavors as the 2006, but the tannins are a bit grittier. Not as complete as the 2006, in my opinion. But an excellent wine.
