Allen Meadows - Score: 94 (2018 January)

A strikingly fresh, cool and highly restrained nose features notes of ripe red currants, floral, earth and hints of wood and the sauvage. There is equally good freshness and intensity to the vibrant and tightly coiled mineral-driven flavors that exhibit outstanding delineation on the taut, persistent and impeccably well-balanced finale. This is a relatively racy 2015 that will require extended aging before it will fully resolve its supporting tannins to arrive at its apogee. In sum, this is very impressive.
