Monday, November 1, 2010 - Well, thanks to a friend this was my first taste of Harlan. Since I have not had any experience with past bottles vintages etc I will not score but I will give my limited opinion.
First the color, dark as night. Smell was of dark fruit to me . The taste well thats a little harder for me to describe but a toss between blackberry,in a jammy kinda way like smuckers boysenberry . It took awhile to
Open up in the glass as my first taste made my tongue pucker up. It was real smooth . I will admit I'm glad I didn't spring for the bottle as I would have been a little disappointed. It's not something
I would buy even if I could afford it. I feel when you hit a certain price range QPR goes out the window so I wont go there . It was good but not the Holy Sh@t good I was expecting . People talk about that perfect bottle
That opened their mind and left them speechless with a big grin on their face. Thats a little more than I was expecting but I definitely wasn't expecting ehhh its good but really how much ?
