Thomas Duroux, previously in charge of Ornellaia, took over as manager of Palmer in July, just in time to preside over drastic elimination of clusters and the removal of the lateral shoots, especially in the merlot vines. The focus of the work in the vineyards, as well as the work in the winery, has been on improving the quality of tannins. Duroux describes 2004 as "a classic fresh vintage," and his first wine will be a strong debut.
