Really popped tonight, Well balanced, the blackberry and cherry notes are clearly defined against mild spices and solid minerality. all around were impressed, no decant needed.

Grilled meat and herb notes are wrapped around a blackberry and olive core. Drinking well now.

My fav 15 so far is Bellefont-Belcier at $55 or so. I have lots of great StE in 15 & 16 and I keep adding. They will drink great for years. Cheers !! BTW Nice pic of the Arno River in Florence !!

This wine is a strange one with very powerful fruit and every year the specific blend from the Harlan vineyards can change so the airtime with each vintage can change, too. AGelvis on here turned me onto the 24 hour decant and he was right. The '15 strangely enough only needs about 6 hours. I haven't tried my '13 yet......great qpr for the fruit we are getting in Harlan's true 2nd level wine. Cheers!
