So much potential! After an hour in the glass just begins to open up. Precise, layers of depth and elegant. Nice! — 10 years ago

Wow! The man sure could make good wines! Flavors of iron, game meat, fennel, loads of ripe dark fruits, and sandalwood. Plenty of velvety tannins and and a dose of surprising acidity around the edges. This will last in a cellar another ten years without a worry. — 10 years ago
Tastes like an average year eisele. Great value — 10 years ago
This is one wine where I was surprised. Top 5 wine of my life. Acid, balance, fruit...mouth feel was supreme. Blackberry, truffle. — 11 years ago



Magnum 1999 Harlan Estate. Welcome dinner for D fam at RW. Drank this after the '96 Araujo Eisele out of magnum. Unfortunately, this bottle was not stored properly and just didn't drink great. Unanimous that Araujo hit it out of the park and that this wine was not what it should have been. It was hot, lacked dimension, and the finish was abrupt and harsh. It should have been great, as we have been enjoying other '99s at this time, but not this bottle. — 10 years ago
Beautifully "restrained" (if that term applies to Napa blockbusters) and showing fantastic balance.
This reminds me of 2003 Araujo Eisele CS at age 5+.
Buy as much as you can afford and then put a few extra bottles on your CC.
This is going to be a legend in 20+ years.
