TN: 2002 Ridge Lytton Springs
2002 Ridge Lytton Springs - Admittedly a Geezer freak since my earliest days of wine love, I did buy some of these too in 2002 and must say, this is darn close to the quality of the Geyserville. Big and brambly, yet smooth and balanced. The nose is unmistakably Ridge-like, explosive and captivating. I am glad I have more of these, and they're still drinking young, although not as primary as they were even two years ago. You all know the profile, this one delivers and has a solid decade+ ahead of it, with ballsy acidity and enough tannins to carry it the distance. A yummy joy ride! 91 points
Ambition driven by passion, rather than money, is as strong an elixir as is Port. http://www.fortheloveofport.com
