Neal Martin for Robert Parker

The 2014 Historical XIXth Century Wine, compared to the Alter Ego, the fruit intensity on the nose is much more intense: more density, perhaps more opacity, with better definition. Dark plums, blackcurrant jam and minerals abound. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, angular tannins and crisp acidity (pH 3.6), a hint of black pepper enlivens the back of the palate with a tight, fairly grippy finish. This is a more masculine Palmer in prospect, deserving of five or six years in bottle.

The winery's cuvée is carefully composed from the best plots and grape varieties and reflects the region's terroir with its mixture of gravel and clay soil.

In addition to their flagship wine, the estate also produces second wines such as Alter Ego de Palmer, which offer a more accessible option for earlier enjoyment. With a rich history and an unwavering commitment to quality, Château Palmer is synonymous with Bordeaux wine excellence.
