Allen Meadows - Score: 90-93 (2019 April)

Here the beautifully fresh nose is deeply pitched with its array of plum, earth and violet aromas where a hint of game can be found. There is a lovely intensity to the sleek and well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that display only a hint of backend rusticity on the muscular finish. This isn't quite as rich as the Vigne au Saint but it's more precise and I would note that while this should easily repay a decade of cellaring, it should be approachable after only 5ish years.
