19 Rene Gabriel
55 % Merlot, 45 % Cabernet Sauvignon. Was haben 2011, 2006, 2000 und 1995 Palmer gemeinsam? Bei all diesen Jahrgängen wurde auf den Petit Verdot in der Assemblage verzichtet. Bei Palmer ist es die kleinste Ernte seit 1961! Also gibt es nur etwa 65'000 Flaschen. Die erste Expression in der Nase erinnert an einen Harlan, dunkle Rosen, Veilchen, Zimt, Cassis, Blackcurrent, Redwood, selten habe ich einen jungen Palmer so schwarzbeerig erlebt. Samtige Textur, enorm dicht, trotz all diesen femininen Anflügen fehlt es diesem Wein nicht an Charakter und somit kann man hier auch von einer grossen Alterungsfähigkeit ausgehen. warten (2020 - 2055)

The 2011 Palmer has a delineated, focused, razor-sharp bouquet with blackberry and bilberry scents, demonstrated more mineralité than its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, moderate depth, straightlaced and uncomplicated with satisfying freshness and grip on the finish. Not memorable, but certainly well-crafted and might improve with continued bottle age. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting

Château Palmer

Among the mythic wines of the Margaux Appellation, Château Palmer has always stood apart, as instantly recognisable for its midnight blue label as for its inimitable bouquet, an uncommon blend of power and delicacy. It’s a strength of character drawn from a fabled terroir, and from an ensemble of vibrant personalities who have forged the estate’s identity through history. Emerging in the 17th century, the estate only became Château Palmer in 1814, when it was acquired by Charles Palmer, a dashing British Major General who instilled his namesake with enough éclat and glamour to see it become renowned throughout London’s aristocratic circles. In 1853, the Pereire brothers, among the preeminent financiers of Napoleon III’s France, brought the rigour and vision needed for Château Palmer to be ranked among the most prestigious classified growths of the 1855 classification. In 1938, a consortium of four leading families in the Bordeaux wine trade acquired the estate, heralding an era of momentous vintages and deep-rooted stability – indeed, Palmer is still owned by the descendants of two of these families:Mähler-Besse and Sichel.
