  Ridge really does last forever, and it feels like this bottle could still keep going. There is still so much great fruit and acidity left in this bottle, and doesn't really show any signs of fading. Tertiary notes are definitely present at this point but in a more harmonious balance with the fruit and acidity. What a treat to drink.

  perfect cork, quick decant off sediment. Fruit from Beatty vineyard, coming in at 11.9%. The bottle note says this wine needs 2-3 more years in bottle to show best, and up to 10 years, but at 35+ years in bottle this is phenomenal. Reasonable acid up front, followed by great purple fruit, loads of leather, and some forest floor. Still a good chunk of tannins, so feeling good that the other bottle will make it to 40 years post-vintage.
