Allen Meadows - Score: 92 (2016 June)

As is almost always the case, this is easily the finest wine in the Belland cellar with its moderately oaked and slightly exotic nose of pear, apple, exotic tea and white peach aromas. Once again there is outstanding richness, volume and mid-palate concentration to the powerful middle weight plus flavors that coat the palate with extract on the lingering finale where once again there is a trace of bitter lemon present. This could stand to add some additional depth but the underlying material appears up to the task.
