My first Harlan bottling. So so vintage but I found this excellent. Incredible fruit power despite 15 years, ample sediment, and brown color. Silky tannins. This has several years of life and has only started showing tertiary.

Big. Black fruit and dried cherry. Espresso. Don’t use a Coravin on this one , it’s throwing a lot of sediment.
