偏愛Merlot的我一直很喜歡Château Palmer，今次Sotheby’s Hong Kong這個Château Palmer拍賣有兩大亮點：想買2015年新酒的可以選擇拍一桶225公升的，然後就有300支750ml，還可以印自己的名字在酒瓶背標上。
想買舊年份的可以選世紀波爾多年份1961，這支Palmer 1961除了 You know who 給了100分之外，根據前莊主Bertrand Bouteiller憶述，1961年是他和父親Jean Bouteiller 合作釀成的，更是Château Palmer 重振聲威的作品，因此別具意義。
這次試飲了，先聞到的是皮革，然後花香撲鼻，有少許像五花茶，一點點Earl Grey的香味，凌厲的酸度和果味依然，
最感動的那如絲一般幼滑的單寧，好像只是在輕撫你的口腔。最後收結帶微微的礦物味，真正令我體會到何謂餘韻悠長。
這支優雅的Palmer可以現時來說是我最喜歡的老波。

Two major points to highlight of this Sotheby’s Château Palmer Auction:
First, if you want to buy the latest vintage 2015, buy A 225-Litre Barrel, then you will have 300 bottles of personalized Palmer 2015.
Besides, if you are interested in rare and mature one, try the Bordeaux exceptional vintage 1961 , which was made by the former wine maker Bertrand Bouteiller and his father Jean Bouteiller.
The 1961 vintage was also a legendary Château Palmer which re-established the status of Palmer as one of the greatest Bordeaux wines.
Tasted the 1961 vintage, very intense nose with leather, Chinese floral herbs and a little bit earl grey fragrance.
On palate, acidity and fruitiness is still going strong, dried fruit and very smooth tannin, like silk and very gentle touch on your palate.
