Palmer's 1992 revealed good ripeness and more concentration from cask samples. Now that it has been bottled, it is clear that the fining/filtration done at bottling has removed some of the delicately constructed fruit and finesse. The color is a medium ruby and the nose offers up aggressive aromas of toasty new oak, black-cherry and blackcurrant fruit. So far so good, but once past the charming, light to moderately intense bouquet, the wine's most obvious characteristics are its lightness, dilution of fruit, and lack of concentration. This medium-bodied, light wine possesses an extremely short finish. Drink it over the next 4-5 years.
