Description
Allen Meadows: Even at 10 years of age this remains quite reserved
with its brooding and still completely primary aromas of black
cherry and violets that are nuanced by hints of spice and warm
earth. There is impressive scale to the big, powerful and
well-muscled flavors that are underpinned by impressive mid-palate
concentration and dense but fine tannins, all wrapped in a dazzling
long, dusty and cool finish that is perfectly balanced. This will
clearly require time to completely unfold but there is so much
palate-coating dry extract that this is one of those '05s that you
could actually enjoy now just for the velvety mouth feel. That
said, be aware that this is at least a decade away from its full
maturity.
