twoamps Likes this wine: 90 points
March 21, 2014 - A bit of TCA at opening, gone an hour later. Old oak, a little cherry, a lot of cassis and chocolate and earth and espresso. Fruit faded to background after another hour. Lots of acid and decent tannins. Seems younger than it is. My one and only bottle that I didn't dare keep longer.

Virtually any vintage of Monte Bello will go 20 years with ease....and usually be the better for it, IMO. If you like the style, try buying a few bottles from the 70's or 80's and given 'em a try!
