Very ripe fruit, no evidence of bricking or tertiary flavors yet. High alcohol...high. Some RS detected but very slight and difficult to detect under the weight of the deep full body, ripe fruit and high alcohol.

Wow! Drank on vacation so no detailed notes but this was incredibly good! Complex and deep blue and black fruits, baking spice, and a very long finish. What was a bit surprising was that I did not get any residual sweetness at all (which was a good thing). Just pure, well integrated fruit and just enough acidity. A real treat. Man I love Ridge!

To my surprise, as I consume my older bottles during the pandemic, this 28 year old is still drinking well.

Popped and poured. Rich and impressive. No real note, but really nice.

Pizza at home with Ridge Zin's and Pol Roger Winston Churchill (Our home): High alcohol. Good color, uneventful wine, good taste
