Palmer Vertikale: Schon deutlich ziegelfarben, sehr breiter Wasserrand ins Orange abfallend. Zuerst überraschend expressive Nase, zedrig, etwas Paprika, leichtes Kellerstinkerl. Die Nase fällt nach relativ kurzer Zeit zusammen. Am Gaumen sehr feingliedrig, trüffelig, Harz, rotbeerige, leichte Beerenaromen.

Lighter medium garnet color. Nose of cedar, some mushroom, also some tobacco, some cellar notes, red berries. It's lighter bodied with light tannin, medium acidity. Shorter finish. A good effort for the year but starting to fade a little in the glass.

Palmer Vertical (Boka): Light red fruits and earth. In decline and with less framing and structure, but still offering classic Palmer elements. Surprisingly enjoyable.

Chateau Palmer Dinner (Boka - Chicago IL): Slight good primary fruit, mostly black cherry and plum, but more earth and reduced mushroom aromas and flavors are more prominent. Cedar and cigar box provide some very nice character, a bit of brandy-like intensity coming through near the finish, which was otherwise a bit plain. Big positive surprise for the vintage.

The scents, the fruits, the body, the tannin, the aftertaste, the finished, all are opened up nicely. After 3 hours, hints of mild lavender, the sweetness, round and elegant. Lovely finished.
I always love Palmer in the weak vintage. Drink beautifully for a relax day.
At its end...5.30 hours...more fuller-bodied declares 6-8 years more of life.
The weak vintage is a hard work for a wine-maker....what cha gonna do....the credit of fame....
Drink now - 2015..............84 - 86/100............
