Allen Meadows - Score: 93 (2021 January)

An exceptionally spicy and overtly floral-suffused broad-ranging nose is comprised by notes of various red berries, violent, lavender, sandalwood and hoisin. The rich, full-bodied and intense flavors possess mouth coating sap that also helps to buffer the firm tannins on the impressively long finish. There is a hint of warmth but overall, this muscular effort should amply repay extended keeping.
