  Kleur: Robijnrood met een dunne rand. Aroma / bouquet: Aangenaam, halfgesloten (ondanks twee uur karafferen in een brede karaf). Een vleugje donker fruit, vooral gedroogd fruit. Smaak / Afdronk: In de mond maakt deze Bond meer indruk. Beperkte zuurgraad, mondvullend en geconcentreerd, krachtige maar fraai gerijpte,aangename, wat dropperige tannines. Ook in de mond een beperkte aromatische expressie, maar desondanks een prachtige en stoere powerwijn met een indrukwekkend lange afdronk. Algemeen / potentieel: 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 10 + Smaak / Afdronk: 17 + Algemeen / potentieel: 9 = 91/100
  
  Colour: Ruby red with a thin edge. Aroma / bouquet: Pleasant, semi-closed (despite two hours of decanting in a wide carafe). A hint of dark fruit, especially dried fruit. Taste / Aftertaste: This Bond makes more of an impression on the palate. Limited acidity, mouth-filling and concentrated, powerful but beautifully matured, pleasant, somewhat droppy tannins. Also a limited aromatic expression in the mouth, but nevertheless a beautiful and sturdy power wine with an impressively long aftertaste. General / potential: 50 + Colour: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 10 + Taste / Aftertaste: 17 + General / potential: 9 = 91/100

  Similar in profile with the 2016, but simply more integrated, softer tannins, plummy, cassis, more floral/tertiary aromatics showing up, with stunningly beautiful mix of fruit, earth, and florals. Excellent, maybe WOTN among all of the Bonds. Spago tasting with Scott Gould

  Birthday dinner at 1700 Steak with beef tenderloin. Excellent pairing.
  Bold and concentrated. Opaque, deep, deep violet in color.
  Still primary but fine, well integrated tannins. Black and blue fruits, graphite and crushed stone.
  Long pleasant finish that lasts 45-60 seconds.
