This was a very generous gift bottle from my brothers-in-law, opened for our 25th anniversary. It took about 30 minutes to open up, at which point it was simply fantastic. Great effusive bouquet, a classic cab palate of cassis with a touch of eucalyptus, and a long, resonant finish. This was my first experience with Harlan and it reminded me most of the 1991 Montelena. Beautiful.

Bouche plus mûre que 92. Légère pointe d'oxydation. Moins de garde que 92. À boire
