-13 through -15 vintages. The -14 was my favorite- medium weight- smooth and gravelly. The -15 was all about big sweet fruit and the -13 was tannic and tight. Really special wines.

Dryer , spice mid palette , dark berries.
Needs some air time. After 30 mins, some more fruits developed. Fairly smooth though really needs some time or decanting. 9.1+

2nd wine from Harlan's Promontory Winery.

A 1.5 hour decant (some cloudy sediment). A majestic dark murky purplish red magenta color. On the nose: blackberry, black cherry, pepper, eucalyptus, espresso, smokey vanilla. Taste: A velvety medium plus body wine with black cherry, espresso, charcoal, dark chocolate and a blackberry cocoa finish. CHEERS!

Perfectly seamless! Enjoyed with short rib bolognese and couldn’t have been a better pairing. Ultra well balanced tannin and finesse.

None of the second labels from Harlan (Maiden) , Bond (Matriarch), or Promontory (Penultimate) have been my cup of tea. Although the ‘14 is young, I was overwhelmed by the fruit.
