Super inky with lots of concentration, the '03 Palmeri was all over the map. The nose had fine elements of dark fruit, warm rocks and charred earth, as well as a slightly sour note, aromas of corn chips and alcohol heat. The palate is rich, round and chewy, with lots of dark, briary fruit leading to a finish that had so much dry oak that it tasted like a tongue depressor. Too erratic for me to recommend.
