Allen Meadows - Score: 92-94 (2022 January)

A moderately toasty nose speaks of various dark berries, a variety of floral elements, along with notes of exotic tea, sandalwood and soy. There is excellent volume to the gorgeously textured larger-scaled flavors that also coat the palate with sappy dry extract on the similarly dusty, austere and serious finish. Here too I suggest exercising at least moderate patience.
