- TheEngineer - 07-16-2010 Classy wine! Nose and palate of dark and red fruits, some coco, spices, and oak, Dense flavours but wears themlightly. Medium + bodied wine, very elegant. I could drink this all day long! - Kcwhippet - 07-19-2010 Have some 01 Monte Bello down in the cellar. May be about time to start cracking them. - TheEngineer - 07-19-2010 KC, as you would know, the 06 was incredibly young and had many years to go. Would love to hear your impressions of the 01! RE: 2006 Ridge Monte Bello - TheEngineer - 09-27-2015 I had a ridge fan over for dinner so opened this one up. Oh...what a stunning nose, full fo herbs, and bush and minerals and earth and then fruit and spices, ...with the mouth much the same but still tannic and structured, with a good acidic backbone. This is a medium bodied, elegant but full on wine. Lovely stuff and still frankly a baby. Needed hours of decanting. |
