Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "Super-refined, polished and expressive."

The Maiden 2012 is a dazzling expression of the vintage, showcasing a refined and elegant profile. On the nose, it offers an alluring blend of dark cherry, plum, spice box, cedar, and crushed flowers. The palate is super-refined, seamless, and polished, displaying a gorgeous depth of fruit framed by silky, integrated tannins. It offers a beautiful glimpse into the quality of the Harlan estate's terroir and is drinking beautifully now with an elegant maturity, yet it retains the concentration to age for another decade.
