Palmer Historical XIX Century 2006 is a unique red wine from Château Palmer that blends AOC Margaux fruit with a small proportion of Syrah from the northern Rhône. This bottling pays homage to the 19th-century practice of `hermitaging` Bordeaux wines to add colour and body. It features a profile of blackberry, violet and black pepper with a dense texture and a firm structural frame. The addition of Syrah has contributed a floral lift and a spicy complexity that distinguishes it from standard Margaux blends.
