1998 Harlan Estate Napa Valley Red from this lot has the following scores - Jeannie Cho Lee (formerly Asian Palate) 97 points, The Wine Advocate 95 points. This is the tasting note for 1998 Harlan Estate Napa Valley Red from Robert Parker - The 1998, which is a candidate for the "Wine of the Vintage," was produced from yields of 0.9 tons per acre. There are only 1,100 cases, and it is the first Harlan Estate to be composed of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. A spectacular achievement, it boasts an opaque plum/purple color as well as a sumptuous nose of espresso, mineral, blueberry, blackberry, tobacco, licorice, Asian spice, and roasted meat smells. In the mouth, it is seamless, full-bodied, with an unctuous texture, gorgeously sweet tannin, and layer upon layer of concentration. This is a tour de force in winemaking. It is hard to believe that a wine such as this has emerged from.
