Lot #915. Ridge Vineyards Monte Bello 1985

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 95 ST.
"Medium-deep, amber-edged red. Superripe aromas of blackcurrant, plum, cedar, game and truffle; at once less complex and less evolved than the '84. Large-scaled, dense and fat; bigger and broader than the '84, with a compelling gamey sweetness. Rather massive in the context of Monte Bello, and developing slowly. Finishes very long, with big but fine tannins that spread out to suffuse the palate." Vinous, Sep 2000
Notes: Base neck, lightly damp stained, lightly damp stained label.
