Allen Meadows - Score: 90-93 (2021 January)

An exuberantly spicy nose is comprised by notes of poached plum, violet, lavender and a suggestion of warm earth. There is once again a lovely sense of underlying tension to the medium-bodied flavors that possess a caressing palate impression before firming up on the sneaky long and balanced finale. This could also use better depth, but it has the density and tannic structure to allow this to happen.
