Allen Meadows - Score: 93 (2017 January)

A pronounced floral character is quite evident on the strikingly fresh nose of black cherry aromas that are amply cut with a variety of spice, tea and discreet earth notes. The moderately broad-shouldered and velvet-textured flavors possess excellent precision on the mouth coating, firm and entirely serious finish that displays outstanding length. This isn't particularly elegant but there is impressive complexity.
