Wow, poured blind by Kelly and Scott at Press. Thought it was from the 90s, insanely deep fresh looking color but mature nose and the tannins were perfectly integrated. Amazing bottle that had been stored perfectly over the years.

Upon opening this is lean, tight, and complex. With air it is mouth-filling, Rhone-like, and energetic (yet understated)

Lots of fruit and structure. Good tannins. Delish!

This showed very well with good fruit and tannin. Blind, I could not believe it was 35 years old.

Digging deep in the cellar! Will rate once we pop it open. Hope I don't have to open this one. Ended up being very good and surprisingly young despite mild vinegar hints on the nose. Very intense still and not much browning around the edges in the glass. Still has a lot of life I think. Ridge continues to impress on aged wines. A winner.
