Disgorged in May 2018 with eight grams per liter dosage, Palmer’s newly released 2012 Brut Vintage is showing very well indeed, offering up a deep bouquet of peach, yellow orchard fruit, buttered toast and iodine. Full-bodied, fleshy and vinous, it’s a rich and muscular wine, reflecting the concentrated vintage, with racy acids and a classy pinpoint mousse.
