Opened and decanted for three hours prior to dinner. Dark fruits, cassis, violets and leather on the nose and palate. Tannins are present, but are soft and unobtrusive. Lengthy finish. This is the first time I’ve had a Historic Vines bottling and am pleased to have more. Has the stuffing to go ages I believe. 95+

Lovely bright acidic. The is subtitle flavor of vanella, Tabbacco, Luther and oak. Tanned have resolved. It is drinking perfectly right now with a 2 hour decant.

Opened for 2 hours. Color is very dark Ruby red. Nose : Plum, graphite, some tobacco and cassis. One of the most attractive noses I’ve come across. On the palate: Plush plums, graphite, tobacco and cassis Soft tannins and long broad finish. This is incredibly elegant and refined. Only 12.6 % alcohol. This is a must try especially if your a Ridge Fan. I think I have 3 bottles of this. I am going to save the others for several years as I think it will age very well.
