1991 Harlan Estate Cabernet - 98 Pts!
This is a profoundly great wine. It came across in a blind tasting as one of the most remarkable wines there with most tasters mistaking it for a first-growth Medoc. The wine revealed an opaque purple color a fabulously complex sweet nose of minerals fruitcake cedar toasty new oak and pure blackcurrant fruit. Although huge in the mouth the wine is remarkably well-balanced with its high tannin level well-concealed by copious quantities of sweet ripe fruit as well as huge amounts of glycerin and extract. I have consistently rated the 1991 Harlan Estate in the mid to upper nineties but in this blind tasting with so many high quality wines it was a big-time winner. Approachable now this wine should be at its best by the turn of the century and last for 2-3 decades. RP
