  Not showing it’s age, still fresh and fruit forward. Was hoping for more development, but I still enjoyed.

  Dinner st home with friends featuring all wines from the 1997 vintage. Served to accompany coq au vin. Opened, decanted and poured immediately as not sure how long would last in the decanter/glass. This Ridge was the star wine of the dinner. Showing little evidence of its 25 years, still very fresh. Medium plum. Plenty of ripe fruit on the nose. Beautiful palate, smooth, rich and full with dark berry flavours. Excellent and a great demonstration of how well Ridge can keep when stored well.

  It is a good example how Zinfandel changes as it gets older. well-aged and balanced. Its concentration was also nice. nice QPR $50.
  dried red fruits, prune, blueberry, clove.... I want to drink wine like this every day as a daily wine. I drank this wine with lamb. It was nice pairing.

  Perfectly stored with a base neck fill. The overall wine has softened, but the ripeness and sweetness is still all there. Not a fan of this. Don’t see the hype of aged Zin. Drink moar aged Cab and Burg.

  Return to The Medlar (The Medlar, London): Mid ruby. Brighter and more vibrant than the LS alongside. Brighter and richer red fruit. Again, a briary element with autumnal overtones, but a core of sweeter and redder fruit. Some fruit compote intensity too. A little more energy here. ****
