2006 Ridge Monte Bello

[TheEngineer]

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.
