Tuesday, March 14, 2023 - I recently had the opportunity to taste the 2000 vintage of Harlan Estate, and it was a truly magnificent wine. The deep, ruby red color was mesmerizing, and the aromas that wafted from the glass were absolutely enchanting. I detected notes of black currant, blackberry, and vanilla, with hints of cedar and leather. I waited 22 years to taste this bitch.

Upon tasting, I was struck by the wine's remarkable complexity. The flavors were layered and intense, with a beautiful balance between fruit, oak, and tannins. I tasted dark fruit flavors like black cherry, blackberry, and cassis, alongside a subtle earthiness and a hint of chocolate. The tannins were firm but velvety, and the wine had a full-bodied, luscious mouthfeel.

The finish was incredibly long, with flavors that lingered on the palate for what felt like minutes. I tasted more dark fruit and a touch of espresso, with a subtle hint of tobacco. Overall, the Harlan Estate 2000 was a truly exceptional wine that left a lasting impression. It would be a wonderful addition to any collector's cellar and a fantastic choice for a special occasion.
