Great color and perhaps the most pristine older Ridge cork I have ever pulled, so I knew this was going to be a treat. Deep nose of dried dark fruit, earth, spice and that signature Draper perfume. Still holding on to some fine tannins. I have one more bottle of this and will not be in a hurry to drink it.

A bit tired, losing fruit and gusto fast on nose and palate, enjoyable but past its best no doubt, smoked by the rhones and just about everything else tonight by! 1995 vintage.

Definitely past it's prime, very interesting to taste though.
