The rare disappointment from Ridge. Sweet, woody, with some graphite, but very little fruit; drying tannin, loads of vanilla, some blackberry jam. Overly big with little joy and certainly past whatever prime it had.

Very big wine, huge fruit, a little hot. After 2 hours or so in the decanter it became better integrated, secondary flavors of earth and dried orange peel came out. Great wine, but big.

Good nose. Initial taste was good. Cork broke apart in process of opening.
