Allen Meadows - Score: 88-91 (2019 Jan.)

Here there is no reductive funk and the pretty and very fresh nose speaks of aromas of plum, earth and dark currant. The equally energetic, finer and more lilting flavors possess evident minerality on the slightly firmer finish that flashes a hint of rusticity. This is a wine of contrasts as the mid-palate is seductive whereas the finish is borderline austere and as such, it will need at least a few years of cellaring to unwind.
