| 2004 Bond Melbury Proprietary Red Wine | 750 ML | $399.99 | 95 Points! Robert Parker's Wine Advocate # 174 Dec 2007 Reviewer: Robert Parker | Readers looking for a fruit-forward vintage should check out the 2004 Melbury. A sensational wine with an inky bluish/purple color, fabulous blueberry and blackberry fruit with hints of lead pencil, acacia flower, pain grille, and spice, the tannins are supple and the wine exuberant, flamboyant, ripe, rich, and long. This is sensational stuff that can be drunk now or cellared for 20-25 years. Drink 2007-2032 || 92+ Points! Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, May/Jun 07 | Good ruby-red. Black raspberry, mocha and smoky oak on the confectionery nose. Quite sweet in the mouth but youthfully tight today, with red fruit and licorice flavors dominating. This has a rather Graves-like mouthfeel. Here the tannins come across as more obvious and less fine than those of the 2005 example. | |
