Description
Hold on just a minute here. This is supposed to be the frivolous, charming, uncomplicated more fun, younger brother to the intense, brooding, yet dashing, elder sibling that is Ch. Palmer. Judging by this stunning, more serious, but not vaguely stern offering, someone had better mention these personality traits to the château, for what they have created this year is a replica of the Grand Vin. Beautifully fine tannins surround a mighty, meaty, focused core of fresh, ripe blackberries and red fruit, all dancing around your palate vying for your attention. It’s stunning and serious. Next year I don't mind which way this younger brother turns out, both are electric.
