Château Palmer’s Historical XIX Century Wine (L 20.17)
The HISTORICAL XIX CENTURY L 20.17 is a testament to Château Palmer’s innovative spirit and deep respect for tradition. This ultra-rare bottling revives the 19th-century practice of ‘hermitaging’-a blend of classic Bordeaux varietals (Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon) with a small, yet impactful, percentage of Northern Rhône Syrah. Classified as a Vin de France due to its unique composition, this wine transcends its classification, offering a taste of history with a modern, luxurious twist. Only a tiny quantity is produced, making the L 20.17 a must-have for serious collectors.
Tasting Notes (Lot L 20.17)
- Color: A deep, opaque garnet, hinting at its concentration.
- Nose: Intensely aromatic, showcasing Margaux’s signature elegance-ripe blackcurrant, violets, and cedar-perfectly complemented by the Syrah’s exotic spice, black pepper, and subtle gamey notes.
- Palate: Full-bodied, seamless, and incredibly velvety. The structure is powerful yet refined, with polished tannins and a core of dark fruit. The finish is persistent, showcasing both the finesse of a Third Growth and the power of the Rhône.
Pairing & Serving Suggestions
This is a wine built for the finest cuisine. Decant for two hours and serve at 62-65°F (17-18°C). Its complexity makes it a flawless partner for richly flavored, luxurious meat dishes.
