Allen Meadows - Score: 92-95 (2014 Jun.)

Moderate reduction is enough to suppress the fruit. By contrast there is excellent freshness and the same borderline painful intensity on the chiseled and strongly mineral-driven medium weight flavors that culminate in an equally restrained and tightly coiled finish. This knockout effort has that 'wow' factor as it really stains the palate on the hugely long backend. Highly recommended.
