Allen Meadows - Score: 92 (2016 January)

This is also quite restrained and only aggressive swirling coaxes the cool and elegant aromas of essence of red pinot, pomegranate, earth, floral and game hints from the glass. There is excellent power and punch to the broad-shouldered, intense and mineral-driven flavors that display plenty of soil tones that continue onto the powerful, serious and quite firmly structured but well-balanced and hugely long finale. This is old school Chambertin in style but without the rusticity.
