Bad cork, one of the worst I have ever encountered, butter soft as the worm went through it. It completely disintegrated. Fortunately, was able to strain the all the cork out, and the wine was not affected by the bad cork. Decanted for seven hours due to the cork situation. Dark fruit, tannin present, but fully integrated.

This is really good. And I am so relieved. I bought a case of the flagship QC Cabernet,as well as Pal and Gal of 07. Three of the seven flagship cabs I’ve had so far are not very good. The corks were very suspect. And in a panic I started opening 07 Palengat and 07 Golitzine vin as I was worried that they might have been past their prime. You’ve heard it…”WA wines can’t age past 12 yes”…. Not this one. This 07 Palengat is superb. Structure, balance, length. It’s all there. Wishing they had continued with the cab dominant Palengat. Just a great blend.

This wine needed some time. Started opening around the 2 hour mark.
Closed nose, but showed some hints of pencil shavings and dark berry. Well rounded tannins, after time showing dark berry, eucalyptus, and some blackberry.
