dream Likes this wine: 94 points
April 24, 2023 - This is just perfectly mature now and showing so well. Nothing overdone here with such a fine silky texture and a lovely layered finish with notes of dark fruits and minerals. Lunch at the winery.

June 30, 2022 - Decanted briefly. Stunningly firm, pure, and dense blackcurrant with beautiful acid lift and earth. I did not expect such good structure from a 2007 or from Melbury but this is absolutely singing. No reason to hold further. Wonderful.

capacious Likes this wine: 95 points
May 16, 2016 - Drinking well already, the driving characteristic is the purity and focus of the fruit. I'm half of a mind that this wine will drink at its best younger than not, but I will save my other copy for a while to see. Truth to tell we haven't ever been too patient with Bond, because it's so compelling young. Excellent wine.

November 9, 2012 - Blackberry and sweet corn magnitude. Pretty flying acid. Med/+ tannin. Really missing the mid-palate that this price point deserves, but again, this wine took on more as it was open an hour or two. We didn't really give it the time that it a wine like this needed to open up.
