"Odedi" 
Let's go out with a bang! Byeee 2023! Deep purple in color with a short purple rim. Strong fruity nose, bold and fruit forward. Full bodied and dry on the palate, with medium acidity. Showing blueberries, blackberries, black currants, black cherries, raisins, dried fruits, figs, dark chocolates, cedar, coffee, vanilla, earth, spices, pencil lead, eucalyptus, cola, light mint, bell pepper, herbs and peppercorn. Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries. This is a gorgeous Napa Valley Bordeaux blend. Very fruity on the palate with great complexity and mouthfeel. This 14 year old feels and drinks like a young wine. Rich and extracted. Opulent and very complex already. Fruit forward with lots of earth and green notes. Very interesting stuff. Feels like a blend of Napa Cabernet and Left Bank bordeaux. Good right out of the bottle, and better after an hour of air time, when tannins come in and show more structure. After 2 hours of airtime the tannins become very grippy. I tried the 2001 vintage a few years ago, and it was so much better. A good quality wine that will continue to age nicely in the next 20+ years. Robert Parker 97 points. Wine Spectator 96 points. A great wine to share with friends and talk about. 14.5% alcohol by volume. 94 points. $1000.

First Harlan I've had in awhile. Juicy, still primal. Needs another five years.

Beautifully balanced for the style, I'd love to see this in 10yrs from now, it may show a little more VA, but there's a great noblesse to it all the same...
