Allen Meadows - Score: 92 (2019 Jan.)

A slightly more elegant but not more complex nose also offers up spiced plum and dark currant scents but rather than earth there are attractive floral hints and in particular violet. The medium weight flavors possess a caressing mouthfeel, indeed it's satiny, before concluding in a sappy and dusty finish that evidences sneaky good length. This beauty will also benefit from at least a few years of cellaring.
