Allen Meadows
As it almost always is, this is the spiciest and most elegant wine in the range with its expressive and ripe yet cool nose of sandalwood, spice, violet, anise and a hint of Asian-style tea. The sleek, refined and pure medium weight flavors exude a fine bead of minerality onto the harmonious and classy finale. In contrast to the prior wines, this would best be allowed at least 5-ish years of cellar time first. 91-93 points

Cask sample. Mid cherry. Sweet strawberries and cherries on the nose - super-fruity and a delicate spice note. Very sweet red fruit on the palate - extraordinarily strawberry. The dry finesse just holds that sweetness in check. 16.5 points
