Allen Meadows - Score: 88-90 (2019 Jan.)

A deft application of wood frames an even fresher nose that offers up distinctly earthy dark currant aromas cut with a touch of the sauvage. There is a bit more minerality and verve if not quite the richness to the medium-bodied flavors that possess lovely delineation and sneaky good length. This isn't quite as seductive but there's more here.
