Allen Meadow 93
 
An exuberantly floral-suffused nose is comprised by notes of ultra-fresh Granny Smith apples, crushed fennel, citrus peel and a hint of quinine. The medium-bodied flavors are not quite as dense as those of the Clousots but they're noticeably finer while offering a pungent minerality on the youthfully austere, clean and bone-dry finale. This is also terrific as it's rare to find villages-level wines of this caliber.
