1999 Bond Matriarch

Picked this up in a lot of 3 from K&L auctions.

Fill level was very good, minimal seepage into the cork. CT reviews indicated this might be on the downslope and I think that’s probably right.

Brick colored rim. On opening, nose was graphite and well worn leather. After about 30 minutes opened up a bit more with some stewed cherry, cola, and dark berry jam. Tannins are mostly gone. Feels a bit flabby, lacking acidity.

I’ve got two more bottles of this, which it feels like I should drink up soon. I’d be interested to try some more recent vintages.

14.5% alcohol. Paid about $150.
