Allen Meadows - Score: 91-93 (2019 Jan.)

Here too there is moderate wood influence present on the essence of red currant, cherry, pomegranate and warm earth-suffused aromas. Once again there is both good volume and fine mid-palate concentration along with lovely balanced and persistence on the somewhat woody finish. Like the CSD, this is a bit woody today but the underlying material is such that it should ultimately be successfully integrated.
