Product Description
LP100 "Deep garnet with a touch of brick, the 2012 Harlan shimmies out with expressive notes of iron ore, rose bud tea, and chocolate mint, leading to a core of cherry preserves, prunes, and blueberry pie, with a waft of underbrush. The full-bodied palate is light on its feet and elegantly styled with perfumed black and blue fruit and fine-grained tannins, supported by seamless freshness, finishing long and fragrant." LPB for TWP Aug 2025
RP99+ "The 2012 Harlan Estate is reminiscent of their 2002. Probably a candidate for perfection with another 4-5 years of bottle age, the wine is inky plum/purple to the rim and offers a gorgeous nose of scorched earth, blackberry and cassis, forest floor, and a floral, lavender-like component followed by deep, opulent, majestic flavors that caress the palate with high but sweet tannin. This is relatively evolved, and supple and voluptuous for a young Harlan estate – hence the comparison with their compelling 2002. This wine can be drunk in several years and is likely another candidate for 30-50 years of cellaring." RP Oct 2015
