Allen Meadows - Score: 89-92 (2020 January)

A ripe, fresh and unusually elegant, indeed even perfumed, nose displays notes of black raspberry, cassis and plenty of floral influences. There is both good focus and density to the quite powerful and vibrant medium weight flavors that culminate in a mildly warm, compact, rustic and somewhat short finish. My guess is that this will better harmonize as the tannins resolve but that is not a given.
