Flight 6 - Selezione di formaggi (1 Note)

  • 1992 Ridge Monte Bello 95 Points

    USA, California, Santa Cruz Mountains

    Wow, I thought the barolo would be the easy WOTN and I did not expect this to show nearly so well. Full deep black purple color. Spactacular nose of cassis and spicy candied red fruit. Nice rich sweet black fruit on the palate with pencil lead and good acidity. Drinking at its peak, I would guess. Delicious.
