Beschreibung:

Harlan Estate--Vintage 1998 Napa Valley In original wooden case, missing lid "The 1998, which is a candidate for the "Wine of the Vintage", was produced from yields of 0.9 tons per acre. There are only 1,100 cases, and it is the first Harlan Estate to be composed of 100 Cabernet Sauvignon. A spectacular achievement, it boasts an opaque plum/purple color as well as a sumptuous nose of espresso, mineral, blueberry, blackberry, tobacco, licorice, Asian spice, and roasted meat smells. In the mouth, it is seamless, full-bodied, with an unctuous texture, gorgeously sweet tannin, and layer upon layer of concentration. This is a tour de force in winemaking. It is hard to believe that a wine such as this has emerged from 1998." Wine Advocate, Issue 132, Dec 2000 3 bottles per lot
