  Quite special. Guessed Napa. Crteamy, sweet, sexy, spicy, a wee bit burnt (only for the good), a true blooded Napa with al the fixers; loved it.

  I really enjoyed this bottle. More fruit forward than Harlan (I prefer the bdx style of Harlan a bit more) but a really wonderful wine. Decanted for 3 hours and drank over another 3. In a good drinking window now but will continue to age and drink well for 10+ years easily.

  Kleur: Diep ondoordringbaar donkerrood. Aroma / bouquet: In de neus toont deze Bond Melbury zich minder indrukwekkend als in de mond. Niet onaangenaam maar weinig expressief en weinig complex. Pas na enkele uren beluchting komen er meer individuele aroma's Smaak / Afdronk: Groots. En verleidelijk. Vanaf de eerste impressie mondvullend, zacht èn geconcentreerd, expressief en in een prachtige balans. Retronasale indrukken van zacht zoete drop, gebrande kersen en cederhout. Algemeen / potentieel: Ongelofelijk mooie Napa-Bordeaux Blend 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 11 + Smaak / Afdronk: 17 + Algemeen / potentieel: 8 = 91/100
  
  Color: Deep impenetrable dark red. Aroma / bouquet: In the nose, this Bond Melbury is less impressive than in the mouth. Not unpleasant but not very expressive and not very complex. Only after a few hours of aeration more individual aromas do appear. Taste / Finish: Great. And seductive. From the first impression mouth-filling, soft and concentrated, expressive and in a beautiful balance. Retronasal impressions of soft sweet licorice, roasted cherries and cedarwood. Overall / potential: Incredibly beautiful Napa-Bordeaux Blend 50 + Color: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 11 + Taste / Finish: 17 + Overall / potential : 8 = 91/100

  Beautiful herbs on the nose. Red currant, blackberry, cranberry and raspberry. Silky/velvety mouthfeel. Initially Light on the palate with sweet juicy taste, but some bold, vibrant notes. Definitely some heat still on it from the alcohol. Drink in beautiful, brisk weather for years to come.
