My god this was good. Brought this to a colleague’s house to show appreciation for the relationship. There is no better bottle in this world to accomplish this. PnP, immediately had aromatics of eucalyptus and blue fruits. Still has incredible structure 23 years in, the perfect amount of tannin structure with a typical Harlan 3 minute finish. The conversation around this bottle never stops, it never disappoints. Mission accomplished.

Very enjoyable. Mild tannins. Ripe dried fruit flavors, heavy on dark cherry. I wish I had more of this!
The cork pulled apart, but I was able to easily get it out without it crumbling in to the bottle. I've had several other of Bond's corks from the early 2000s do this. The corks were still nicely sealing the bottle, so no worries there.

Muted nose. Very tannic palate, showing fresh blackberry which builds with time. 93-94
