The 2014 Palazzi is a delicious and succulent Merlot-based wine that wraps thickly over the palate and treads with a sure and steady pace. The bouquet is packed tight with luscious fruit, bold cherry, blackberry and sweet almond. This vintage delivers a surprisingly intense and vibrant expression of the grape. There is oak spice but it is integrated with an impressive level of expertise and finesse. This was a difficult vintage but you'd never know tasting this gorgeous wine.
