Bond Melbury 2008 presents a complex profile that slowly reveals itself. This vintage embodies the distinct characteristics of its site, with layers that unfold gradually. Earthy notes of truffle and leather are complemented by subtle hints of spice, offering a nuanced finish. The wine has a freshness, indicative of its age, yet it remains reticent, suggesting further development is possible. Bond, established by Bill Harlan in 1996, focuses on site-specific expressions in Napa Valley, making each release a study in terroir. The 2008 vintage invites patience and contemplation.
92 Vinous
Bright red-ruby. Restrained, cooler scents of black cherry, minerals, sage and licorice. Then surprisingly supple and pliant but a bit medicinal and hiding its fruit complexity today. Nicely delineated wine with a mineral firmness but also a hint of green acidity. The serious tannins reveal a slight dry edge. A distinct step down from the 2009 Melbury in texture and structure: will this wine really blossom in bottle?
