Very good. There was this volatile acidity bite to it that I didn’t like. On the whole very good. Overpriced.

Thie is a classic one, spice-box, chocolate and great use of wood.

restrained, classic style, baby Monte Bello is a gem, it’s so light on its feet it’s great fun.

Delivered from Ridge earlier this week. Black pepper and some candied fruit on the nose. As others have stated it’s really acidic right now. Maybe call it a bit green? Sour. Finish is medium. Probably won’t be buying any more. I prefer the 2011 and 2014’s over this one.
