  Drank 4 out of 5 bottles of a Bond 2007 retrospective box. All but the St. Eden. The pluribus was the WOTN! Had a nicely aged bouquet to it that none of the others had. Epic steak SF, with R&R and Justin of J&J! Great dinner! Epic Somelier was on spot, wines were enjoyed by all. At or in their prime, IMO.

  This is even better than I remembered. The attack has softened since 2020 - this wine is now a total, well-integrated beauty with silky mouthfeel, spicy but suave mid palate with glorious fruit and a lingering finish rife with boysenberry, blackberry, juicy jaboticaba, and pine and eastern cedar notes. This is a great bottle to savor or enjoy with food. The piney notes set this bottle apart. Seek it out!!
  
  Cements pluribus as the best of the Bonds in my opinion- if you have the patience to cellar these for pten plus years, they reward you with awesome depth, complexity and flavor! This one has at least another decade of joy to give. Maybe twenty.

  Tasted non blind. Opened and served immediately. Followed over about three hours.
  
  Dark garnet to purple color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of sandalwood, rose petals, maple and mixed dark fruits. Flavors of dark plums, currants, chocolate and cherries. Medium acidity, medium to firm tannin, full bodied. Drink now with some air or continue to hold.

  Opened at 4pm, places in a decanter from 6-6:45pm and back to the bottle to consumed at dinner 8pm-10pm.
  
  I believe this wine didn’t fully opened, while the body is bold, and the mouth is coated with layers of minerals and purity it was a little flat on the middle. To me the edges were beautiful but lakes a bit complexity and secondary notes on the center.
  
  If I had another bottle (which sadly I don’t) I will keep it in the cellar for at least 5 years. The best days of this wine are still down the road...
  
  95+ HOLD.

  The 2007 Pluribus is so concentrated in flavor and almost aggressive on the attack and then just drifts to silky balance and a lengthy almost medicinal herby laced finish. Still a little drying at the very end. This wine is in the window now but easily has 20 more years to give. Excellent wine with plenty of structure and layers of flavors.
  
  I decanted this for 5 hours at cellar temp and we consumed over the next five hours. I think it was best starting at about the 6 hour mark when it was closer to room temperature. With all of the bond wines, I typically do not even start approaching them until their 10th birthday, and even then I find they need a proper decanting to maximize enjoyment.
  
  Served with lamb saddle and crispy bacon fat brussel sprouts with charred corn and pignoli nuts.
  
  Also had a glass before dinner with some extra sharp cheddar and some aged gruyere and mixed nuts.
  
  It paired well with everything.
