This 78 was firing on all cylinders. It’s perfectly aged in my opinion. My favorite of the 2 Palmer’s.

Wifes birth year wine was so impressive. Smoke and leather, very polished. Reminded me of a great Pinot. Great experience

Structure and balance still very much in place but expected a longer finish. Probably 5-10 years younger it would’ve been singing—but a treat all the same. Sophisticated, briar, leather, subdued black fruit.
