Allen Meadows - Score: 92-95 (2021 January)

A ripe yet appealingly fresh and decidedly cool herbal tea-inflected nose blends together liqueur-like red and dark currant aromas with those of earth and floral nuances. There is outstanding richness to the full-bodied, powerful and mineral-driven middle weight flavors that possess a highly sophisticated texture while brimming with dry extract before terminating in a long, youthfully austere and well-balanced finale that is again shaped by dense but fine-grained tannins. This is terrific and I really like the mouthfeel.
