January 16, 2019 - A really nice bottle and it bested 2 others (Carte Blanche and Jack Quinn - although all were different years). This kept calling to me. The proof is in the pudding and the other 2 bottles, well, I will enjoy them tomorrow.
Dark purple with a little red around the rim. Tons of fruit, mineral components, and unlike previous Panek, this was ready for business! Pretty smooth for a Panek wine at this youthful stage, dark fruit, lots of mineral with a nice long finish.
Held up very well on Day 2 - strutting its stuff and showing its pedigree.3 people found this helpful 5,573 views
