the 2016 Harlan Estate reaches dizzying heights of profound beauty

they used less new oak barrels

-- Neal Martin

with an elegantly textural attack and a creamy core of fruit that's underpinned by a bright but nicely integrated spine of acidity

full and sleekly muscled big-bodied flavors that are highly complex

Fourrier, Vougeot Petits Vougeots Vv other_regions the 2016 Harlan Estate reaches(from a . 34 ha parcel). A high toned nose is also airy and pure with its mostly red berry fruit nose that reflects plenty of floral influence. The lilting, energetic and refined barely middle weight flavors exude a subtle minerality on the lingering and balanced finish. I like the sense of finesse but this is noticeably lighter.
