At £140-£180 this is a decadent treat that is drinking fabulously but will benefit from more ageing in 10-20 years 😉 At 13.5% ABV it’s not over powered like many 🇺🇸 wines but it feels over priced for what it is to me 😁
📍 Ridge Monte Bello 2009
🏵 94-95 points w/ bigger potential
🍇 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot & 6% Petit Verdot
🍷 Deep opaque ruby
👃 Earthy mocha choc infused blackcurrant w/ warm oak, mint, dry cured meats, dark cherry, pencil shavings, black olive & raspberry liquorice
👄 Med body of dark berries infused with mocha & liquorice w/ dry cracked rock minerals & dark cherry
🎯 Long earthy rich mocha dark fruit boom with a dry linger
