Dear all,
while strolling through the wine department in a major supermarket, I noticed a wooden case containing "Historical XIXth Century wine", sold for a whopping 169,00 EUR/bottle.
It was a non-vintage "vin de pays" (!), with a label resembling Château Palmer's bottlings. In fact, it is "made by Palmer".
I found out that Palmer had decided to produce a few hundred cases of wines made like in the 19th century... by adding 13% Syrah (Hermitage...) to the usual Cab/Merlot blend. The grapes were apparently from the 2004 vintage.
While this is most certainly a curiosity for wealthy trophy hunters, I just wanted to ask if any of you ever tasted this wine and what your impressions were, especially vs. a "regular" Ch. Palmer?
Regards
Yves
