Adam's contribution to the Collectors dinner and it sure didn't disappoint. Yet another big wine from Russell Bevan. Full of fruit and awesome!

This was a baby but you can see how wonderful this wine will be in 10 years. The nose on this was intoxicating and there was a glycerin/silky smooth texture to this. Thank you @Joe Lucca for sharing this wine with me. I've long heard incredible things about Harbison and it was delight to experience it for myself.

The nose on this is amazing. You get that fatty and bacon hint. So, so good!

Very special. Taste buds are shot to hell, but this is shining thru. Somebody has polished the tannins with a velvet cloth. Needs more age - exceptional. Gotta call out @Joe Lucca for gifting this fine specimen.

10' Harbison Pony Express. This wine needs to be decanted for half a day. Another beast of a wine that has another 25 years in it. Russell's first vintage he made for Harbison. They dropped the JP from their name starting this vintage.

Monstrous Cab from Russell Bevan. Bottle has been open for about an hour, and still needs a bit of breathing room. Black cherry, cola and bitter cocoa. Tannins are firm, and reminiscent of slightly burnt caramel and leather. Would love to revisit this one in 10-15 years.
