Harlan Estate 2020 750mL White Burg sandalwood"Blackberry, chocolate, walnut, hazelnut, graphite, and light tar. Then goes to seaweed and umami. Cassis. Full bodied, but so agile and featherlight with bay leaf, berry and very fine tannins. Endless. The finish caresses every inch of your palate. Thought provoking and meditative. Extremely long and seamless finish. Better after 2029." James Suckling, JS99, tasted 2 2023
