Bond Melbury 2018 750ml
$2125.00 price per bottle
Sourced from a rocky 7-acre hillside vineyard with eastern and southeastern exposure overlooking Lake Hennessey. The 2018 vintage benefited from a later budbreak in late April and a timely spring rain, leading to a small fruit set and a wine that embodies depth and charm. Tasting Notes Color: Dark ruby with ochre reflections and delicate edge brightening. Nose: Ripe dark forest berry confit, hints of plum, roasted aromas, candied orange zest, and herbal touches. Palate: Juicy and complex, featuring plum confit and a chocolate finish, supported by an integrated sweet tannin structure. Finish: Long-lasting with blackberry in the aftertaste, indicating sure maturity and significant aging potential. Accolades James Suckling: 98 points Robert Parker: 98 points Optimal Drinking Window 2023–2040. While approachable now, this wine will continue to develop complexity and depth with further aging. Serving Suggestions Decanting: 1–2 hours to allow the wine to open up and reveal its full aromatic profile. Serving Temperature: 16–18°C (60–64°F) for optimal enjoyment. Pairings: Pairs well with beef and venison dishes, complementing the wine's bold and structured profile.
