2017 Promontory, Napa Valley, Harlan Estate Ribera del Duero wet stones and fresh herbs98 points James Suckling Blackcurrant, tar, lead pencil and dark fruit. Full bodied with resin, dark berry and redwood undertones and firm, fine tannins. Salty. Leaner than some, but so long and bright. Vertical elegance here. Needs three to four years to soften and open. 97 points Vinous The 2017 Promontory is really starting to come together nicely. The Promontory wines have always benefited from time in bottle, as the 2017 once again makes clear.
