Ch.Palmer 19th Century 2007 750ml

Far more perfumed and complex nose, vibrant. Smells young, yet somehow integrated . Huge tannic structure - still youthful - beautiful round dark fruits, silky finish.
(XIXth Century Historical Wine from Palmer, which is primarily '07 Chateau Palmer, with 15% Northern Rhone Syrah)

Chateau Palmer is named after a British officer, Major General Palmer, who settled in Bordeaux in 1814. It is the top estate of the Margaux appellation after Château Margaux. It is located in the centre of the Margaux appellation, and its vineyards (Cabernet Sauvignon 55%, Merlot 40%, Cabernet Franc 5%) lie on a sparse gravel plateau.
Palmer is classified as a 3ème Cru Classé, and in some years (1961, 1966, and 1983) it is as good as any wine in Bordeaux.
