Harlan Estate Vertical tasting (WSPC): Two heat waves, 2nd during harvest causing the plats to shut down, they waited for 10 days to start again. A portion of the grapes were thrown away due to smoke taint, 70% new oak, bottle open 12.00 and tasted 14.10 -/- The wine shows freshness, black fruit, cherry, berry, the wine shows fine thin oak frame, chocolate notes, plums, vanilla, coconut freshness, lively, very juicy, a few espresso notes in the back, fruit liqueur notes, maraschino cherries. The palate is very juicy, freshness, the fruit is darker, the tannins are fine, the acidity is elevated. The wine shows some warmth, medium body and long finish flavoured with coffee notes and raisins. There is a different dried/sugar coated fruit note here in this vintage. Light on its feet, juicy and elegant (all things considered)

Napa day trip (Arrow & Branch, Harlan) (Napa): Aromas of red flowers, red fruits and a touch of burning incense. Rich yet light on the palate, elegant dark red and blue fruits, deep earth and savory minerals. Almost a little thin to me but this could've been the cooler temp, would've liked to enjoy this over a longer period of time and maybe closer to room temp.

Salon Focofi Paris walkabout and dinner, so no detailed tasting notes. Precise, compact, great balance. Young, will be great. 96+

Wine Bar George in Disney Springs. Perfectly executed Napa Cab. Wonderful finish.
