Allen Meadows - Score: 91-93 (2018 January)

An exuberantly fresh nose displays essence of red cherry, raspberry, spice and once again orange pekoe tea aromas. The succulent, sappy and lavishly rich flavors also possess excellent depth of material along with plenty of dry extract that helps to cushion the notably firm tannins shaping the beautifully persistent and well-balanced finale. Here too at least some patience is advisable.
