Allen Meadows - Score: 92-95 (2019 Oct.)

A wonderfully broad-ranging nose is composed by restrained aromas of mineral reduction, floral, pear, apple and iodine scents. As is usually the case this is notably finer if less powerful, indeed the mouth feel of the cool middle weight flavors is almost delicate though this texture contrasts considerably with the lingering and strikingly complex finish that is, like the La Forest, almost chewy. This is one of the wines of the vintage though note well that patience will be required.
