Product Description
RP100 "As I predicted last year, the 2013 Harlan Estate is one of their all-time greats, although they have had many of them, starting with the 1991, followed by 1994, 1995, 1997 (although controversial in some circles), 2001, 2002, 2005, 2007, 2010 and 2012. This great first-growth property, with aspirations to produce the finest Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine made in the New World, has given us a wine that has it all in 2013. Dense purple to the rim, with notes of espresso, white chocolate, mocha, blackberry, cassis, and cedar wood, the wine is full-bodied, opulent, but also structured, pure and incredibly long (well past a minute aftertaste). It is probably closest in personality and overall character to the compelling 2001, which is still a youthful wine at age 15. Drink it over the next 50+ years." RP Oct 2016
AG100 "The 2013 Harlan Estate is flat-out stunning. Dark, ample and explosive, with tremendous freshness, the 2013 has aged spectacularly. Black cherry, plum, chocolate, spice, espresso, leather and new oak infuse the 2013 with captivating depth. The 2013 shows just how much the Harlan house style has evolved in less than a decade." AG for VM May 2024
JS100 "This is really sensational with such precision and focus. Glorious aromas of tar, graphite, blackcurrants, and blackberries. Full-bodied, very tight, and reserved. Phenomenal tannic structure that is supple and wonderful. This new classicism makes me speechless. It's pure pleasure. You can drink it now, but it's built for aging" JS Jan 2016
