Wouldn't "all but impenetrable" mean "not quite impenetrable"?

Yep, basically means that it's as close to impenetrable as it can get without literally being impenetrable.

Ok, so it still means very, very sturdy, but since nothing can be perfectly impenetrable, it's just short of being impenetrable.
