Allen Meadows - Score: 88-91 (2022 January)

Firm reduction dominates the underlying fruit at present. More attractive are the appealingly textured medium-bodied flavors that possess a velvety texture thanks to the abundance of dry extract that also buffers the moderately firm tannins shaping the balanced and lingering finish. If this can add depth with a few years in bottle, it should merit the upper-end of my projected range.
