Allen Meadows - Score: 91-93 (2018 Jan.)

A completely different aromatic profile is present here with its cool, restrained and much redder fruit that is laced with soft nuances of earth and a hint of the sauvage. The overtly muscular broad-shouldered flavors brim with both dry extract and minerality on the firm, youthfully austere and mildly rustic finish. As is virtually always the case, this is going to require at least some patience so that the mid-palate can flesh out.
