Broadbentism: 1991 Harlan Estate

"The first of five consecutive vintages tasted at Waddesdon Manor, December 2000. Very deep, intense; substantial fruit, after 50 minutes nose thick, rich; dry, spicy, tannic. Frankly, I didn't much take to it. Daphne was positively rude. Next, tasted at the Vintners' gala at Meadowood: swingeingly tannic and, frankly, undrinkable. Last tasted June 2001." - MB
