Allen Meadows - Score: 95 (2018 Jan.)

A wonderfully elegant and pure nose is composed by the essence of red cherry, spice and tea notes while also being markedly floral in character. The highly energetic medium-bodied flavors possess a wonderfully sophisticated mouthfeel as well as a very subtle stony nuance that arises on the strikingly persistent finish. This is a powerful Chapelle of harmony and grace that despite its seemingly well-mannered mouthfeel, is a wine that should age effortlessly for years, indeed even decades.
