| | Qty=3Size=750 ml, RP[96+]"A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc, the 2017 Palengat Red Wine explodes with power and finesse, combining aromas of graphite and pencil shavings with an undercurrent of juicy blackberry, dark cherry skin, robust plum and red and purple flowers before swaying with elegant baking spices from being rested in 100% French oak for 20 months. Full-bodied and tightly wound, the juicy, mouth-watering fruit expression has ample opportunity to absorb all the French oak across the mid-palate, which seems to lift the expression synergistically. While the label states it’s 14.8% alcohol, the complexity and depth of the wine never pull you toward a hot expression, which some might expect. Prevailing for more than a minute, the wine concludes with a continually evolving finish that repeatedly flips between robust fruit expression and subtle minerality with elegant oak and floral tones on the finish. Only 1,025 cases were produced and will undoubtedly sell out quickly. This will age for more than two decades." - Anthony Mueller, robertparker.com (Oct 22, 2020) |
