Allen Meadows - Score: 91-94 (2022 January)

This is also very ripe though not so much that it's roasted or flat on the aromas of black cherry liqueur that are laced with notes of the sauvage, earth and whiffs of spice and underbrush. The caressing but impressively intense larger-scaled yet refined flavors that exude plenty of minerality on the firm, raspy, mouth coating and mildly warm finale. This too is going to require extended patience.
