Lot #1265. Ridge Vineyards Monte Bello 1984

Description: Consists of 1 Magnum, 1.5L
Score: 95 RP.
"This blockbuster Cabernet Sauvignon remains closed, with more promise than current appeal. The saturated purple color displays no amber or signs of evolution at the edge. The nose reluctantly offers up pure aromas of black fruits, minerals, and licorice. Extremely full-bodied, with layers of rich, glycerin-dominated, sweet, jammy fruit buttressed by zesty acidity and abundant tannin, this large-scaled, surprisingly well-proportioned and balanced Cabernet Sauvignon requires another 5-8 years of cellaring. It is a candidate for 20-30+ years of longevity. So what's new?" Wine Advocate #94, Aug 1994
Provenance: The Nantais Cellar
Notes: Very lightly scuffed capsule, bin soiled label, nicked and lightly scuffed label.
