2010 Bond Vecina Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend

From Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate – “Another wine flirting with perfection is the 2010 Bond Vecina, the nearby neighbor of Harlan Estate on the western hills overlooking the Oakville Corridor, and further south, Yountville. A Graves-like effort, it displays notes of burning embers, scorched earth, creme de cassis, and charcoal. Primordial, dense, rich, full-bodied, masculine and backward, this is another example of a wine built for half a century of cellaring. Forget it for 7-10 years and watch the pleasure unfold thereafter. (RP)” Robert Parker 99 POINTS
