Harlan Estate 2005 Red (Napa Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Harlan Estate / Napa Valley

Smells a bit minty and peppery, but once in the mouth, turns ultra-generous in black currant, chocolate-covered mint and spicy cedar flavors. Massive, yet refined and elegant, and even with the firm tannins, grows more charming as it warms in the glass. Very fine quality, and likely to hold for many years.
