Allen Meadows - Score: 90-93 (2018 Jan.)

A spicy and moderately earthy mix is composed by notes of red and dark cherry along with a whiff of oak. There is outstanding richness to the delicious, velvety and impressively complex middle weight plus flavors that are blessed with excellent mid-palate density, all wrapped in a focused, powerful and beautifully persistent finish. This is a pretty blend of Vosne-style spice together with Nuits-style muscle and punch.
