Palmer Historical XIX Century 2006 is a unique red wine from Château Palmer that blends AOC Margaux fruit with a small proportion of Syrah from the northern Rhône. This bottling pays homage to the 19th-century practice of `hermitaging` Bordeaux wines to add colour and body. It features a profile of blackberry, violet and black pepper with a dense texture and a firm structural frame. The addition of Syrah has contributed a floral lift and a spicy complexity that distinguishes it from standard Margaux blends.

The 2006 Historical 19th Century Wine was not the first release. That was the 2004, though Thomas Duroux considers the 2006 to be the first proper release, blended with 10% Syrah. Now at 15 years old, I was intrigued to see how it is aging. Clear and youthful in color, it has an intense bouquet with ample red berry fruit, incense, pressed violet and a touch of camphor. The palate is medium-bodied with good grip, burly and powerful. The spicy black fruit is laced with cedar and tobacco. Maybe on the finish, it misses a bit of precision, yet it feels very long and appears to have plenty of years ahead. I would keep any bottles in the cellar.

Tasted at the Château Palmer vertical in London, the 2006 Palmer "19th Century Blend" was served blind . It has an intense fruit-driven nose with surfeit blueberry and mulberry fruit. The Syrah just imparts a sense of warmth that would not have been perceptible in the regular cuvée. The palate is full-bodied and dense in the mouth, slightly viscous with a pleasant saline note on the finish. I just feel that the Syrah takes away more than it gives, just blunting the finish a little, erasing a bit of detail. Nevertheless, it remains an intriguing hybrid and it will be fascinating to see how it ages. Tasted May 2015. - Neal Martin

Chateau Palmer

Classic, Concentrated Margaux

Château Palmer is a 3ème Cru Classé property and is one of the most celebrated estates in the Margaux appellation in Bordeaux, renowned for producing rich and opulent wines with exceptional longevity. The 55 hectare estate is characterised by its mixture of fine and sandy gravels, together with clay soils. The key grape varieties are old vine Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, all farmed biodynamically, resulting in superbly elegant, velvety wines with a wonderful capacity to age and evolve in bottle.

In addition to the first wine, Château Palmer, the estate produces a second red from specific plots, Alter Ego de Palmer. Created to be as equally terroir-driven and expressive as the Grand Vin, the Alter Ego is supple, rounded and more approachable in youth.
