Score 93/100 · Allen Meadows, Burghound
The generous wood this displayed from barrel has been almost completely eaten and has now been relegated to the background, which allow the ripe, elegant and airy mineral and underbrush infused red berry fruit aromas to take center stage. The pronounced minerality continues onto the subtly earthy flavors that somehow pull off the trick of being at once detailed yet suave, all wrapped in a driving finish that is utterly delicious, seductive and surprisingly accessible yet I suspect that this will tighten up after a few years as there is definitely a core of ripe tannins present. A very impressive effort in the context of the vintage. Recommended Allen Meadows, Burghound 01/04/2009
