Allen Meadows - Score: 88-91 (2018 Jan.)

Very firm reduction though it's not perceptible on the palate of the impressively intense and overtly powerful medium-bodied flavors that possess more size and weight compared to those of the La Justice. The lingering finish though is noticeably less refined; indeed it's markedly rustic. In sum, this is built for mid-term cellaring and is very Gevrey in basic character.
