Allen Meadows - Score: 92 (2002 October)

Stylistically similar to the 2001 as this is very understated and reserved with austere, backward aromas of intense minerality and green fruit that frame elegant, pure, almost painfully intense flavors that seem to be the essence of liquid limestone all supported by racy, ripe acidity. I very much like the style of this and though this is not especially concentrated, it delivers awesome flavor authority and length that won't quit. Textbook Valmur.
