The nose shows beautiful fruits of; black, raspberries, black cherries, dark, cherries, raspberries, poached, strawberries, and blueberries. Olive, dark melted chocolate to pudding, black licorice to anise, bold, baking, spices, cigar, leather, cedar limestone, moist herbs, and baking powder. What gorgeous, palate fruits. Perfectly ripe, dark, cherries, blackberries black, raspberries, baked, strawberries, and both plums, sweet, soft tarriness, black licorice very, soft leather & tobacco, dark spice with palate heat, perfumed flowers that are dark, red and framed in violets, perfect rainfall acidity with an elegant, well, balanced, smartly polished, medium structure with a long finish that lands on clays spice and soils. If there is one thing I learned tasting 6 Harlan’s is Bob Levy is one of the very best, if not thee best at managing Cabernet/Bordeaux blend tannins. Tasting with Winemaker- Bob Levy & Managing Director-Don Weaver.

Always a treat. Harlan 2004 is deep violet in colour, great structure, blackberry and some warm spices. Great acid. Just lovely.

Big...dark fruit and truffles, oak and tobacco. If I liked big massive wines Id love this

Never a bad night when you’re drinking aged Harlan. The 2004 has grown savory in character - tobacco leaves, thyme, animals and rust. Still palate coatingly tannic, but the needle of fine acidity provided a beautiful textural juxtaposition.

Opened and decanted for about 2 hours Evolved from being tight and Bordeaux like to eventually giving off some red fruits and having a kirsch like flavor Fairly robust and a lot of depth.
