Allen Meadows - Score: 93-96 (2021 January)

An exuberantly fresh if markedly restrained nose offers up a panoply of spice, earth and game elements that add breadth to the mostly dark berry fruit aromas. The tautly muscular and imposingly scaled flavors possess outstanding mid-palate density as well as evident minerality on the focused, youthfully austere and hugely persistent finale that is shaped by dense but fine-grained tannins. I very much like the balance and like the Mazoyères, the lovely sense of harmony.
