  Opened an hour and 1/2 prior to drinking with no decant. I broke the cork in half like all the other Bond series from this year. I am known to break a cork here and there so this wasn’t new to me. However, I mostly break corks on on old long corked Italian bottles. So I would contend Bond has soft corks, but most likely me. Color is deep red or Garnett like all the others from this series. The first early taste had a massively long finish. I could tell right away that there was a more proper integration with this wine then the others. It displayed the many common characteristics with notes of tobacco, oak, earth, smoke with that long finish. The fruit and tannins were more integrated and had a softened a bit from earlier tastings. I preferred it. Still plenty of structure. This bottle reminds me of being barefoot and wiggling one’s toes in a quality shag carpet. Velvety plush with some refinements. My favorite of the series. I would contend it is in its drinking window now. However, if I had another bottle I would wait at least three years for comparison. Well that is what I am going to do with it’s sibling Vecina, well maybe 5 years?

  Everything great Napa cab should be. Still has tons of structure left.

  Still young. Strong dark fruit, tannins beginning to soften but still present. Needs air and opens well in the glass. Multilayered nose with some secondary notes. Long long finish. Will improve with age.

  Wow. First sip had me pacing around the room. Massive and rich. Layers of tannin. Wish I had more. The most perfect steak cab.
