Allen Meadows - Score: 92-95 (2018 Apr.)

More subtle if not invisible wood treatment surrounds the spicy blend of both red and dark currant, earth and sauvage wisps. The highly energetic, sleek and intensely mineral-suffused large-scaled flavors possess fine mid-palate density and excellent power that continues onto the palate coating, youthfully austere and very, very tightly wound finish. This too is excellent but again, plenty of patience will absolutely be necessary.
