Harlan estate x Quince pairing dinner last night.

Vintages tried were 2020, 2016, 2011, 2007, 2002 and 1996. The 2020 actually drank very well and they avoided most of the smoke that year by having an early harvest.

Favourite vintage was the 2007. Just starting to mellow out and entering a good drinking window. Palate is heavy and full of black fruit. Aromas of espresso beans and cedar. I think this has 20-30 years ahead of it.

Favourite dish was the Maccaroncello with squab. Form pasta with hints of truffle and very exquisite squab.
