Burghound (Allen Meadows) 95 points - A ripe and moderately elegant nose of superb depth offers up notes of red and fresh dark pinot fruit, violet, rose petal, spice and relatively strong earth scents. There is the hallmark Rugiens minerality to the pure and equally ripe middle weight plus flavors that are supported by dense but fine tannins that contribute to the suave mouth feel, all wrapped in a stunningly persistent if clearly built-to-age finish. This is potentially great but be aware that plenty of patience will be required. (Drink starting 2035)
