Anything but Port, this includes all wines other than fortified wines (which have their own section) even if they call themselves Port. There is a search facility for this part of the forum.

2012 Ridge Vineyards Monte Bello

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Decanted at 15.30, returned to the original bottle at 17.30, drunk at 20.00: such an exquisite perfume! Perfect balance on the palate with the perfumed fruit dancing over the fine-grained tannin. So young, but so beautiful. Warm, floral - astonishing! 96/100. Drunk 03-Jun-21. Decanted 4½ hours.

Review thread.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
