Allen Meadows - Score: 93-95 (2019 Jan.)

This is also sufficiently reduced to blur the underlying nuances of the nose. Otherwise there is excellent power and drive to the intense and even more muscular broad-shouldered flavors that culminate in an explosive, dusty and very, very tightly wound finish. Despite the excellent size and weight, this remains beautifully proportioned and should age effortlessly for several decades. In a word, terrific.
