Quite stunning Nearly opaque black ruby with only a hint of garnet at the rim. Not too much sediment Lavender and birch beer aromas Lush, mostly resolved on the palate with dry sassafras and birch beer flavors, hint of clove. This is really lovely. And this particular bottle seemed in no danger anytime soon.

1994 RIDGE PAGANI RANCH SONOMA VALLEY ALCANTE BOUSCHET [3 btls]- a rare varietal treat, the color of these wines were deep, dark purple which is expected from this grape although maybe not from a 23 y.o wine; one bottle stood out giving up layers of fruit forward blackberry, black cherry and black raspberry with a touch of spice coming in late; it was delivered in a medium textured base and held on for a grand finale.
