2003 Matriarch

Drinking at home.

2003 BOND Matriarch - started drinking 30 minutes after decanting. The nose was really ripe, and this was really smooth on the palate, which was a little sweet. The nose was so ripe it smelled like the skin of the Kyoho grape, but also more blueberry than other fruits. After one hour this was so fragrant, so open and opulent, with lovely cedar notes.
