  Very pleasant. Tannins resolved, remaining fruit leathery and slightly dusty. Balance and mouth feel are on point. Medium finish with dried dark fruit and touch of cigar box. Well enjoyed with a NY Strip from the grill. For K, appreciated but more advanced than her preference. Best to drink in the near term.

  A delicious fully mature wine. Scents of dark red and black fruits on the nose, with touches of wet forest floor and a little menthol. Medium in body, it tasted of tangy blackberry jam with minerals, iodine, and a little earthiness. The finish was a tad short, which is to be expected in a wine of this age. If you have any, drink up!

  This bottle, the wine had nice color, not bricked out, aromas of leather, cedar, and dried fruit. Drank over the hour, smooth and overall fantastic bottle. Glad to have one more cellared!

  A glass poured via Coravin from a bottle cellared since release. Deep purple with just a hint of a lighter rim. Aromas of blackberries, blueberries and plum. Delicious rich extracted flavors of dark berries, bramble, chocolatate. Tannins remain and are well integrated. Perfect balance. Long, long finish. Superb. Has to drinking at or near its peak. Should last even longer.

  Tasty. Lots of spice and leather on the nose, together with good fruit and acidity remaining. Definitely on the more muddled and stewy side, and not at all precise (very interesting to compare this to the precision of a 1992 Ridge Monte Bello drunk a few weeks prior). Overall, an enjoyable drink if not complex.
