PALAZZI 2015

Parker review

The 2015 Palazzi is a spectacular wine, truly spectacular. This pure expression of Merlot just pushes all the right gustatory buttons in this warm and exuberant vintage. The bouquet is seamless and generous, yet it is also built tight and heavy like a tank. It exerts power and elegance with effortless abandon. The bouquet peels back to reveal deep layers of black fruit, prune, spice, leather and cured tobacco. The mouthfeel is still a bit raw and astringent, but the quality of the tannins is evident nonetheless. The wine really requires another 5 years or so of bottle aging. 94+/100.

Antonio Galloni's Vinous.com:  95/100   The 2015 Palazzi, 100% Merlot, is one of the more expressive wines in this range of 2015s. Radiant, plush and seductive, with tremendous richness, the 2015 is all class. Nothing in particular stands out. Instead, it is the wine's sublime elegance and total sense of finesse that rule the day. All the elements simply fall into place. There is so much to like in this stunningly beautiful wine from Trinoro.

Winespectator.com:  96/100  Immediately alluring aromas of ripe black currant and blackberry waft from the glass, framed by spicy oak. Picks up earth, leather and tar notes, layered through the long finish. Balanced and long. Merlot. Best from 2020 through 2035.
