Bond St. Eden, Vintage 2002, Score=5

There is nothing like treating yourself with a great wine after an intense workout session, and that is exactly what I did.  I have tasted this Bill Harlan/Bob Levy/Michel Rolland product before and recollect as being very good, although not as good as I thought it was yesterday. The wine is deep red/purple, seems to be impenetrable to light and has legs that are long, sinuous and sensuous.  After swirling the glass several times, this creature gave my nose an unforgettably pleasurable experience.  There were sweet black currant and star fruit compote aromas, spicy oak, a touch of vanilla, and asphalt/rubber tire highlights that made this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon very exquisite. Its myriad of tastes is capable of taking a person directly to Mount Olympus, to enjoy the company of Gods or Goddesses, whichever you prefer.  There is a perfect balance of the four major wine components. This viscous elixir coats the palate evenly as it releases sweet notes of black currant and other black berries, caramel, vanilla and fragrant oak. Uncle RP gave this beauty 96 points and he is right again.  The finish goes for over one minute.
