Allen Meadows - Score: 95 (2007 April)

An opulently spicy, highly floral and beautfully complex nose merges seamlessly with classy, sappy and gorgeously textured flavors that offer incredible depth and purity of expression. The 95 isn't an especially big wine and though it's by no means shy, the breadth of flavors and underlying nuance seems endless. While no more than a nit, there is just a hint of finishing dryness that disappears with food but a careful taster will notice it.
