Tasted blind. Brownish red and cloudy. Opaque. Nose of cola, earth, cherry and Heath bar. Ok in the mouth but unfulfilling. Short finish. Tannins completely resolved. Liked it at first but with more air this collapses to notes of just soy sauce and port. Interesting to try. — 7 years ago

The first vintage release from Harlan estate. Now I can say I have been lucky to try every vintage of this wine. Long finish, with a lot less of a ripe attack than anticipated. Long life ahead of this wine made in a different era in napa. #timetraveling — 10 years ago
Several stashed away and brought to the front of the cellar. The time is now. Slight variation from the last bottle. Olive tapenade nose at first then showing prune and raisins. Tannins still lift the profile of this wine. Bright acidity. Smoked Mushroom 🍄 complements a strong finish. — 8 years ago
This is our go to wine we had on one of our first dates in SF — 10 years ago
2005 vintage in Sept 2015. Deep red color. Bouquet described as "funky" by server lol... It does have a very musty aroma at first but opens up nicely to a covered fruit with hint of pepper. Flavor: at first opening, bright fruit up front balanced with some (not overwhelming) bitter tannins, evolving into a full-mouth of cherry with astringent tannin and then into a moderately long slightly overly acidic linger. But this wine really came into its own after being decanted and sitting for about 90 minutes - acid lingerhas smoothed out and the full, round, fruity character has matured into a really delicious wine. Not a "bold" wine, but definitely one to savor. — 10 years ago
Drank this over the course of 6 days using Coravin...still too young, but the wine really opened up by the last day. Smells and tastes like a Grand Bordeaux St. Julien wine as it should. I used to this wine to test the Coravin. It is clear that oxidation starts right after the first pour. — 9 years ago
For 30 years old, amazingly young. Not a ton of rim separation. Very green and tight at first, opened to start showing fruit. — 10 years ago
Magnum 1975 Heitz Martha's Vineyard Cabernet. Drank w K at the 4th of July beach party. Interesting comp to the magnum of 1982 BV. We decanted this for a while before drinking and though we preferred the BV at first, which had more fruit, by the end of the night, we thought this wine had more nuance to it. — 10 years ago
My first Opus. Full nose of earth, and deep, complex fruit on the first taste. Opened up really nice as we waited for our beef. — 12 years ago
