The Maiden 1999 Harlan Estate

Professionelle Bewertungen

Robert Parker (90)

The 1999 The Maiden (700 cases) is a more evolved, slightly lighter, less prodigious example of its bigger sibling, the Harlan Estate. The dense saturated purple-colored 1999 The Maiden exhibits an evolved sweet nose of cedar, black currants, licorice, and smoke as well as outstanding density, purity, and ripeness, medium to full body, and firm but unobtrusive tannin in the finish. It should drink well for 12-15 years, perhaps longer. As the wine sat in the glass, aromas of chocolate and cigar smoke emerged.

Intense and concentrated, a high-octane style, with currant, blackberry, earth and spice flavors. Finishes with a hot tannic aftertaste, but also lots of flavor, folding in oak and mocha scents.?
