Lisa Perrotti-Brown for Robert Parker

The 2016 Historical XIXth Century Wine The 2016 Palmer is an opaque garnet-purple color. It slowly glides out of the glass with compelling notes of blueberry compote, warm cassis and kirsch with emerging hints of violet, cigar box, black tea, sandalwood and Sichuan pepper. Medium to full-bodied, wonderfully rich, concentrated and full of latent energy, the palate literally grows into the mouth, revealing layer upon layer of black, blue and red fruits and tons of floral sparks, framed by super ripe, incredibly fine-grained tannins and finishing with epic length. A wine that makes you want to stretch out on a chaise longue, glass of Palmer in hand, and sigh with deep satisfaction, "This is so wonderfully Palmer."

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.
