  Dense and concentrated lots of blackberry blueberry jam prune and dried fig. Full bodied with tons of ripe tannins and excellent fresh finish. At the beginning of its apogee

  Absolutely delicious. Lush dark fruit on the nose that just kept getting better over the course of the evening. On the palate, more of the same with added dark cocoa notes and a long finish. Everything was in harmony with this bottle. I wish there had been more time to decant. Bought from the winery on release, this is one of those bottles that truly rewards having been cellared and waiting for the right time to open.

  Had this wine last night with some friends at Capital Grille. It was perfect. Really, perfect. I couldn't find a single flaw with the wine. The fruit was fantastic. The finish divine. The taste was over the top. Everything you want in a Napa Cab. One of the best bottles of wine I've had in a very long time.

  2006 was the first pluribus I tried. I first tried it at the Bond tasting room way back when and I thought it had huge potential. I thought it had more interesting undercurrents than a lot of the other Bond wines. Since then I think the pluribus has established itself as one of the two best bond wines.
  
  I gave this a two and a half hour decant and served it at cellar temp.
  
  This 2006 is well oaked but suave with deep fruit and some menthol and earth and tar flavors. Very enjoyable. It is clearly napa in origin but it has always seemed like amplified St. Julien in elements of the flavor profile (with the exception of the menthol or mint I suppose).
  
  Long finish, nice structure. This wine is a winner from what many consider a poor vintage. Not the best pluribus but very good. This has plenty of stuffing to last until the early 2030s but may be enjoyed now with a proper decanting.

  The 2006 Pluribus is a pleasant surprise from this largely overlooked vintage. All things considered, the 2006 has retained striking freshness and energy. There is plenty of raciness to the blue/purplish fruit, along with the heavy oak signature that was the norm at the time. Even so, the 2006 has aged beautifully.
