(1 bottle) 2002 Bond Vecina Proprietary Red - 95+ points - Value $380.00
Review from 2005: This wine is a primordial, tannic beast with a beef blood-like concentration, a huge, opaque color, and notes of scorched earth, blackberries, chocolate, camphor, roasted meats, and cassis. Give this amazing wine 5-6 years of bottle age, and drink it over the following 20-25 years.
(1 bottle) 2002 Bond Melbury Proprietary Red - 96 points - Value $480.00
Review from 2005: This wine boasts a dense pruple color to the rim along with a sweet perfume of acacia flowers, blueberry pie, licorice, and a hint of hot rocks. A wine of great intensity, tremendous voluptuousness and opulence, fabulous purity, low acidity, and silky tannin, this stunning 2002 can be drunk now and over the next 15-20 years.
(1 bottle) 1998 Harlan Estate Proprietary Red - 95 points - Value $995.00/bottle
Review from 2005: This wine is a spectacular achievement, it boasts and opaque plum/purple color as well as a sumptuous nose of espresso, mineral, blueberry, blackberry, tobacco, licorice, asian spice, and roasted meat smells. In the mouth it is seamless, full-bodied, with an unctuous texture, gorgeously sweet tannin, and layer upon layer of concentration. This is a tour de force in winemaking. Anticipated maturity 2003-2030.
(1 bottle) 1999 Harlan Estate Proprietary Red - 94 points - Value $1,188/bottle
Review from 2009: Very deep garnet black colour going brick at the rim. Complex, maturing nose with notes of warm blackberry, game, dried plums, moss, white pepper, Provence herbs and a whiff of iron ore. The palate reveals a concentrated, medium to full bodied wine balanced by medium acidity and a medium to firm level of velvety tannins. Very long finish, elegant and Bordeaux-like departing with lingering savoury and mineral flavours. Drink now to 2018.
(2 bottles) 2002 Hundred Acre - Kayli Morgan Vineyard Cabernet - 98 points - Value $788.00/bottle
Review from 2005: A seamless wine with extraordinary concentration, a dense purple color, beautifully sweet nose of black cherry liqueur intermixed with cassis, graphite, smoke, and underbrush, it is layered, multi-dimensional, and opulent, with a long 40+ second finish. It has a fine purity as well as overall equilibrium, and a Pomerol-like succulence/lushness. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2018
