cracked open this 2013 Harlan (with the MIL’s obligatory Christmas glassware) for Christmas dinner. paired with an amazing prime rib.

Dark purple and Lucious in the glass. I thought the nose was actually a bit muted, but I’m at the very tail end of a cold and maybe my sense of smell hasn’t fully recovered. definitely lots of dark fruits on the palate - plum, blackberry etc. The most impressive thing for me was the structure and depth of the wine, the mouthfeel was just incredible.

Superb wine and a pleasure to drink, but has to be for the price. I think I‘d have a hard time picking this over a first growth bdx if I’m honest
