Allen Meadows - Score: 92-95 (2013 June)

Reduction blocks an evaluation of the nose. There is knockout intensity to the highly energetic middle weight plus flavors that possess a distinctly different mouth feel as here it's even stricter and less seductive even though the minerality is every bit as pronounced as it is with the Perrières. There is an intensely saline character to the hugely long and explosive finish and this will absolutely require extended bottle aging to display all of its considerable potential.
