Tasted at Ridge. Dark scarlet. Opaque and brooding. Notes of black fruit, unsweetened chocolate, dark earth and some spice. Powerful impact in the mouth. Great mouthfeel. Chewy. Still young and primary. Needs a decade or two of slumber and will surely improve.

Flavorful, dark, succulent. Its has depth but also restraint. At 13.6% you can feel its power but has perfect balance of ultra refined tannins and soft acidity. Blueberry, cocoa, crushed asphalt and a long finish. Tasted 2013 at their lytton springs estate. If its this good now... Oh the places it will go!

Baby but so good. Great life ahead of it. Juicy currants and black plums, hints of spiced red fruits, fresh vanilla, spice cake, tobacco leaf, slightly chunky tannins that are persistent and will go the long haul. Love how vibrant it was even though it was wound up.

Quite a wine. Highest tannin levels in the history of monte bello but still held in check by the concentration. Needs time but going to be killer
