2005 vintage. Decanted for two hours before tasting. Showstopper. Still medium-heavy body after nearly two d's. Moments of Napa chunky(ness) still evident. Color for days. 8.19.23.

2005 vecina
First taste as it opened was big and round. Smooth. Dark and complex. Little bit of bell peppers. Very thick and rich. Beautiful wine.

Still a big muscular beast with oakville dust on the nose, blackberry and other dark fruits, leather and chewy tannins

Expected more. Spicy but no depth.

Gorgeous wine, maybe a bit hot on the finish. Unfortunately I grew a bit tired of the taste after a glass or two. Maybe too much extraction on this? Dunno.

Still not P&P ready, but its opening up nicely.,
100% Cabernet & 100% new oak,
Parker said its the closest wine in quality & profile to the Harlan estate,
I wouldn't know since I've never tasted any of the Estate,
