The 2012 The Maiden displays soft blackcurrant liqueur notes, as well as cedar wood, forest floor, underbrush, and hints of white chocolate and espresso. It is broad, savory, sexy and opulent. Drink it over the next 12-15+ years.
The 2012 The Maiden is super-refined, polished and expressive. Crushed flowers, sweet red berries, mint, pine and cinnamon are some of the signatures. Open-knit and medium in body, the Maiden is racy and super-polished to the core. It is feminine, lifted in style and well-suited to near-term drinking. (AG)
The 2012 The Maiden is a real stunner. Radiant, powerful and seductive, the 2012 captures the purest essence of the year its voluptuous, resonant personality. Dark red cherries, spices, wild flowers and mint build to the knock-out finish. Readers who own the 2012 are in for a real treat. This is a tremendous showing from the team at Harlan Estate.
