Splash of fruit forward then your mouth just devolves into a blessing of flavors! As the drink warms in the mouth there is a sudden caramel soothing earthiness that blends an elegant enticing of flavors to the mouth. — 2 days ago

Deep garnet. Oak and dark fruit on the nose. Hour decant and still a bit tight but yet still very smooth and well structured. Red and black fruit. Tannins silky smooth with nice long finish. Beautiful wine! After another hour this wine was hitting its stride! So good!! — 4 years ago

This wine is super refined and elegant. The amount of acid was noticeable at this point - and the tannins are strong even after a four plus hour decant. This is one for the long haul. It was cool to taste this side by side with the ‘12 vintage as well as next to the ‘12 regular Estate. All so different yet all so good. Such wonderful wines it’s sad they’re no longer making them. — 9 years ago

As every year goes by, this wine increases the boldness in its flavor. Dark chocolate cherry with hits of vanilla leather. If there is such a thing. Fruit forward with hints of licorice as it wraps around your tongue. It will drink for 10 more years at a minimum. — 6 months ago

I don’t usually rate wines this high but this wine was over the top. Great blue and black fruit, dark chocolate, cassis with acid and tannins in perfect harmony. Really nice red belly wash. — 8 years ago

2004 Bond Pluribus, not many wines rock my world 1.5 decant. Oakville AVA, still a pup. What a wonderful wine, dark fruit the oak is integrated in the wine, very very nice mouth feel, after a mag of Checkerboard & 1/2 glass of Bond, YUM! What a way to end a trip to Napa, with great friends & wonderful wines!!!! Cheers Napa — 10 years ago

Drinks way over its price range - reminiscent of high end Napa cabs (Brand, Checkerboard, Ovid) — 11 years ago
