Community Tasting Note

bubnos Likes this wine:

Friday, May 24, 2019 - PnP, bottle sourced directly from producer. Cork stained slightly and some minor ullage below the capsule, but no problems with the wine.

Rich nose, complex and smoky with almost quince and plum notes like from a sweeter wine. Flawless attack with everything present: soft, muted red fruit, a spine of acidity, fully integrated tannins, and spicy tertiary flavors of leather and cigar tailing off into a butter-smooth lingering finish. Indistinguishable from a perfectly aged First Growth Bordeaux and clearly the doyen of American wines. Bravo Ridge!
