Didn’t decant. I thought it was delicious and opened during the course of the meal despite the age. Enjoyed at Mashomack (also haha) with my father - he had lobster and I had veal. Good fun.

Impressive 20 year old wine. These old ridge bottles do hold up well. Pleasant blue and black fruits on the nose with just a slight bricking around the the edge. Incredible mouth feel with smooth tannins. So easy to drink. Served with beef carpaccio. I glad have one more.

Took to Mashomack for dinner with Mcnamaras. Great dinner, nice catchup. Helen had duck gumbo. Great upon opening and for first hour. Good fruit andbody and length. It started to peter out after and the finnesse disappeared. Drink up.

Volatile acidity. Crumbled cork.
