Allen Meadows - Score: 95 (2021 January)

This is aromatically quite discreet with its subtly perfumed nose that is composed of plum, dark cherry, violet, lavender and orange pekoe tea. This is at once silky but powerful with plenty of minerality characterizing the velvet-textured big-bodied flavors that coat the mouth with dry extract that also serves to buffer the markedly firm tannic spine on the balanced and hugely long but presently compact finish. This is a veritable 'wow' wine though one that, even with 6-ish years under its belt, is still going to need plenty of time to reveal its full potential.
