Palazzone’s 2005 Armaleo (95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc) is not particularly varietal in its expression but it does offer plenty of black cherries, mint and sweet toasted oak. This full-bodied, plump wine offers excellent persistence on the palate in a generous style. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2018.A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300, Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel.
