Allen Meadows - Score: 91-93 (2019 Jan.)

A notably cooler nose is comprised by red berry fruit, sauvage nuances and violet notes with subtle undertones of underbrush and Gevrey-style earth. The delicious, complex and intensely mineral-driven larger-scaled flavors possess slightly better mid-palate density while exhibiting just a bit more overall depth and persistence. In contrast to the Chapelle though, this will need at least half a dozen years of cellar time and reward up to 20.
