Allen Meadows - Score: 93 (2020 January)

More modulated wood influence surrounds the spice, herbal tea and earth-infused red and dark currant-scented nose. Once again there is excellent energy to the broad-shouldered and intense flavors that possess the usual level of youthful austerity on the dusty, sneaky long and powerful though somewhat grippy finish. As is usually the case with this wine at this stage of its development, this is also presently very compact and is going to require at least moderate patience for it to unwind and flesh out.
