13ā€™ Judge Palmer G lll. Ruby red in color. Ready to roll!! The palate is full of black fruits-reveals layers of silky, refined tannins & a firm structure. Providing power with finesse & grace. Drinking now, another decade in it.
This is significantly better then the 2012.

Solid showing again. Deep dark blueberry and cassis. There is adequate tannin to boot. A full bodied wine. @Palmer Emmitt

@Martin G Rivard this is a really nice wine. I had it at a churrascuria. So many flavors going on at dinner (the meat never stops coming to the table!!) that I am hesitant to share a clear thought about it. Thank goodness I have more!šŸ‘šŸ½šŸ·šŸ˜µšŸ˜ŠšŸ˜ŠšŸ˜ŠšŸ˜Š @Paul T @TheSkip @Jim Trobaugh @Ron R @Eric S @Warren Sapp

May have served this a little on the chilled side, hence the nose was a little compressed.
Not as plush as I expected. More ethereal and classy, with moderate sweetness. Blackberries on the palette, with coffee and bay leaves. Acidity is quite prominent, and therefore needs a little more time in the bottle. Leave this for another 2 years or so.
Martin - Thank you and yours my friend.

Best Palmer wine yet. This eclipses the 2011.
Nose, palette and mouthfeel is exceptional. Wonderful example.
Another gift from

Dark purple in the glass. Smokey plum aromas. Rich, plush dark chocolate, vanilla, and spiced cherry chutney. Velvety finish. So nice
