  Drank over two days. At this age it is definitely a ‘cougar’ of a wine. It is sophisticated, mature, resolved and confident with what it is. Black fruits give way to leather and some faint shoe polish. Still quite good and can go for a couple more years but it’s best days are behind it.

  Nose of cedar, spice box, dried flowers and liquorish. Nose was subtle but complex. Nose seemed to carry over to the pallet. Tannins are still there but relaxed and mostly out of the picture. Going strong after a couple hours. In a way strong but also delicate.
  
  Bottle was double decanted to take to a regular tasting group. No one guessed the wine's age. About as old as a PS that I've had, not sure where it goes from here.

  Nose: big raisin, with a little barnyard in the back
  Mouth: round, luscious, raisin goodness front to back, with a touch of graphite
  Finish: flint/graphite, and the raisin fading to a little heat.
  With the guajillo-base of the sauce of the Molé Coloradito, it was excellent.

  Decanted and served.
  We felt the wine has seen its best days and its now drying out on the fruit and the acidity stands out a bit astringent. It’s ok but not really the wine one expects . 87

  Decanted and served. Probably one of the best cellar defenders we could ask for ( A good wine that you open when u need more wine post a long wine flight. This stops you opening something really expensive :) ) .
  Powerful but only 13.5% in alc , lots of juicy fruit, very much new world but not sweet or man handled. It is Ridge after all biut its also a new world petit syrah so balances the 2 very nicely. Good dark fruit, solid core of fruit, still primary and with presence. Very good 90-91
