97 AG. "Surprisingly, the 2001 Vecina comes across as quite subdued in this tasting, both for the vintage and compared to the other Bond wines. Graphite, smoke, cured meats and a host of dark-toned fruits build into the huge finish. This historic retrospective, encompassing five verticals of every wine Bond has released going back to the inaugural 1999 vintage, was the most comprehensive tasting ever staged at Bond and the first time the Harlan family had opened all of the Bond wines in one sitting. The entire Harlan family, along with the teams at Harlan Estate and Bond, were present for this truly once in a lifetime look back at their work spanning three decades."
