Allen Meadows - Score: 91-94 (2019 January)

Here the expressive nose is even spicier with a slightly more deeply pitched array of plum liqueur, dark currant and floral suggestions. There is also a bit more volume and mid-palate density to the medium weight plus flavors that are at once punchy but caressing, all wrapped in a sappy though clearly built to age finale. This is excellent but patience is required.
