Allen Meadows - Score: 91 (2016 January)

A beautifully spicy nose features ripe aromas of both red and dark currant along with plenty of earth and sandalwood influence along with a whisper of herbal tea. There is good tension to the seductively textured medium weight flavors that display a lovely stony quality on the relatively fine, well-balanced and persistent finale. Depending on the vintage this can be a bit more Vosne or Nuits in basic character; in 2013 it's more Vosne in style though there is just enough Nuits muscle to remind you of its origins.
