Allen Meadows - Score: 93-95 (2018 Jan.)

There is just enough reduction to mask the underlying fruit but not the floral and spice nuances. Otherwise the dense, powerful and robust full-bodied flavors possess both super energy and minerality before delivering huge length on the balanced, austere and very tightly wound finale. This stunner is a classically styled Malconsorts that is made in a 'buy and forget you own it' style.
