Hidden Ridge

55% Slope Impassable Mountain Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

This is everything I expected and more. Worth every dollar.
Dark and lush black current, intense dark chocolate, fine tannins and smooth finish. Paired fantastic with grilled t bones and a Gorgonzola and pear salad.

Have you ever had the chance drinking multiple years of this? The '75 is still drinking, the '94 & '98 were great, the '00 & '03 were solid, although the '02 & '08 were weak. This '05 was a pleasure. Less of a production than regular and apparently the '13 is gonna be over the top.

Giacomo Conterno

Riserva Monfortino Barolo Nebbiolo 1958

1958 Giacomo Conterno Monfortino: from Jay. This was the Ying to the Mascarello's Yang. Lovely rich ruby colour with virtually no bricking on the edge. The nose developed over the course of 15 to 20 mins in the glass. Unlike the Mascarello that was shedding perfume from the moment it hit the glass, the Monfortino needed more air before becoming less brooding. Dark fruits on the nose. Purple plums, black cherries, some forest floor, light tobacco as well as some floral elements prevailed. The palette was a reflection of the nose so no surprises. The fruit was far from dried out and this particular bottle still had plenty of life left in it but from my recent experience this is the exception rather than the rule. I have had around 10 bottles of old Monfortino ('55 / '58 / and '61) over the last year and the bottle variation, as you would expect, is tremendous with the majority of them past their prime. The finish was strong and in keeping with the rest of the package with reasonable length and quality. Drink now. 95/100.
