Historical Bordeaux

2006 Historical XIX Century Wine; (Chateau Palmer)
Deep ruby, strawberry jam red rim. Herbal, dark fruits, lavendel, very complex and different, spices, tremendous nose and sweet plum overtones. Great and quite big structure, still manages to be Medoc elegant, fresh acidity, high ripe tannins, some green and herbal notes, very long length. 12% Syrah in the Palmer blend. I think this wine is quite thrilling, it has some beautifull spices and floral overtones with Medoc fruit, and the imediate pleasure of so many Rhone's, great fun to try, and really a wine for the wine nerds. The Palmer team has done a fantastic job, making this joy of a wine. 90
