Palandri is a rising star on Australia’s far left coast. This 2002 is mature, with surprising density, complexity and poise. Huge aromas of blueberry-cassis fruit, mint, green moss, floral notes, tobacco and bordeaux-like minerality. Firm, slightly high-strung, with moderate tannin and warmth. Excellent length. Now to 2010.
