  Very nice but it is obvious that it is near the end. Glad it is my last bottle.

  Birthday Dinner (Hawksmoor Seven Dials): All the characteristics you expect from a somewhat mature Ridge cab - cigar box nose, the vanilla from the American oak with good structure and a spine of lovely acidity. I do think, though, that this was a tricky period for Ridge - it doesn’t quite deliver in the way that wines from the 80s / 90s and 2010s seem to.

  this was much better than the last bottle and improved surprisingly and considerably in the glass - best after an hour or so - lovely!

  This bottle was clearly better than last year's. Substantial fruit all the way through. Very well balanced. Similar to a very good right bank Bordeaux. In a nice window. Give it some air.
