On some level I think Ridge is toying with me as I have had some duds and unremarkable wines from them of late. This however bucks that trend and is outstanding. This is deep and perfumed. I get some sort of berry liqueur on the nose that is a joy in itself. Mouthfeel is rich and velvety smooth. Not the Jimsomare I recall from a decade or more ago, better than the 2018 and 2019 I’ve had recently. Absolutely no harm in consuming this now.

This has uncoiled nicely in the past 18 months, with loads of evergreen, high-toned fruit and a long finish. Really in a good place now.

Very port like. Deep fruit, high alcohol, even though dry, sense of sweet
