90-93 Allen Meadows - Burghound

"Noticeable but not dominant wood toast tussles a bit with the smoky and highly spiced black pinot fruit that precedes the rich, full and notably powerful flavors that despite the size retain a fine sense of detail on the slightly austere finish. This has impressive raw material but it's on the woody side at present and while it should successfully absorb the oak in time, it is presently marked by it."
