Admittedly, I’m a fan of Bondi and drink it regularly over the past 20 years. I really think that 2013-15 is some sort of recent peak culminating with the 2015. These wines are more integrated than in the past. The 2015 also improved steadily with air without losing intensity. I’m assuming the 2015 is at peak here.

Tannic and closed. Decanted over 2 hours. Some licorice and green pepper emerging with a hint of saline. Flawed? I’ve had better bottles of Malleolus from previous vintages in the past. This bottle is the second 2009 that I tried and both were disappointing.

Continues to drink well. Consistent. Holding up well. I would expect it has plenty of time to drink well but this one was my last bottle.
