92 points but a loving 92. Last bottle 3 years ago was a surpise with how good it was. This bottle was a bit flat-ish. No flaws, and balance was great - what you would hope for at 30 years.

More primary dark fruit than expected. Recommend slow ox for 2 hrs to get to a more integrated texture given the heavy fruit. Or can let it age for another 3-5 yrs. Paired well with ribeye.

More black currant fruit to it. Not too savory. A bit more savory and beautiful on the palate. Serene and a just a touch savory. Beautiful. 20 years is not enough for monte Bello! The tasting group notes. 30 years!
