Community Tasting Note

Friday, April 15, 2016 - Perfect balance of light and dark right now. This wine was uncorked to VERY little stain, and poured a DENSE color into the glass (almost black). The nose out of this one is blackberry pie and a hint of herb, some mint. The entry is thick and dark. Smoke and blackberry, a little plum, some fig, some jam, mint, all kind of mixing into the middle of the wine that dances into a darker wine. Every sip seemed like this one got darker and more serious...a dark chocolate note started to emerge after an hour of being open (aka when it was almost gone). The wine finished with a soft oak tannin, quite a bit of black pepper that was exponential with food, and more tame when consumed alone. Nice wine by Mr. Harlan indeed, with a lot of life left, but probably much darker now than it was 5 years ago.
