The 2013 Bond St. Eden is a highly acclaimed Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend, consistently showcasing the magic of this great vintage and the unique Oakville site. It has received exceptional ratings, including 99 points from James Suckling and Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, and 98 points from Vinous. 【Exceptional critical acclaim with multiple 99-point ratings】 Tasting notes reveal an extravagant aromatic profile of crushed raspberries and boysenberries, leading to a full-bodied palate with fabulous velvety tannins and a superb finish of exotic fruit and lusciousness. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate describes it as "absolutely mind-blowing," with notes of blackcurrant liqueur, licorice, Asian soy, and lead pencil, offering wonderful fruit, silky tannins, and a majestic finish. Winemaker notes highlight its reliable focus, an opulent "sweet" center, and notes of crème de cassis, dark chocolate, and roasted herbs, with fine-grained tannins and lush concentration. This wine is mesmerizing now but is expected to improve further, with James Suckling suggesting it's better in 2019 and capable of drinking well for at least 30-40 years. It's a collectible and boutique wine, ideal for significant celebrations, milestone anniversaries, or as a centerpiece for a sophisticated wine tasting event. Food Pairing: This bold and structured red wine pairs beautifully with rich dishes such as lamb, beef, venison, and mature and hard cheeses.
