Bright, dark ruby-red. Very suave scents of dark berries, black cherry, spices and licorice. There's a lovely density and silkiness of texture here but also surprisingly powerful, penetrating acidity and a firm tannic spine. This wine seemed rather delicate in the early going but today its very long, mounting finish conveys an impression of power, with its tongue-staining tannins coming across as a bit grittier than those of the supernal 2010 and thus giving the wine a spikier impression of structure. This very young wine should be long-lived. (Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, July 2019)

Awesome finish at #Capitalgrille in Cherry Hill NJ after a Great Eagles Win over Minnesota! Two awesome accomplishments! 2009 Melbury from the Great Bond Winery. Tried this young and yes needed a lot of time. NOW it is full rich with soft tannins and ready to go! Bright red fruits, supple, and a Beauty to consume. Awesome Day and Night! A solid 95+ in my book CB #Eagles !
