    January 27, 2023 - After reading some comments I was skeptical opening this wine.. Shared with my wife few days ago at dinner…. This wine is magical. After 30 minutes decant started evolving. I am very happy I tried 98 vintage.

    March 22, 2020 - Second bottle of this vintage I've had and it was equally as wonderful as the first time. If you're a bordeaux lover then Harlan is the Napa wine for you. This only needed a 1-2 hour decant and she drank beautifully over the next couple of hours. No need to hold this vintage any longer to get the best out of it.

    February 22, 2020 - Drank at Harlan dinner with 10 other vintages. This was in the middle of the pack. Solid showing, but wasn't blown away.
