Wine Critics Notes:

Allen Meadows - Score: 92 (2007 July)

This lovely but still reticent wine continues to evolve very slowly and I have significantly extended my suggested initial drinking window based on several recent bottles that display no trace of maturity at all though the overall sense of balance, harmony, density and depth remain impeccable in every sense. A terrific effort that only needs time, and lots of it, to reveal all that it will be capable of offering. Indeed, there is even the possibility of upside potential here as this is extremely impressive. Note that another bottle tasted in November 2018 was quite tangy and bore little resemblance to what I describe above.
