Allen Meadows - Score: 94 (2015 November)

he barest trace of wood remains on the nose to frame the elegant, pure and airy white flower, pear, spice and green apple aromas that are now displaying fully mature nuances before merging seamlessly into intense, powerful, concentrated and still wonderfully intense large-scaled flavors that are seductively textured and stain the palate with dry extract. This is quite masculine and the intensity does a slow but inexorable build from the mid-palate to an explosive finish. For my taste this has arrived at its peak though it should be capable of holding here for at least another decade, perhaps longer. Tasted several times with mostly consistent notes save for one bottle that seemed slightly flat if not actually tired.
