Description

I am selling one bottle of the sublime Ridge Monet Bello Cabernet Sauvignon 1996. The labels have been damaged by damp in the wine storage system as you can see form the photos but the wine is unaffected. The level is well into the neck. I bought this wine many years ago and it has been stored under perfect conditions since then.

This wine was reviewed again last summer by AG:

Ridge's 1996 Monte Bello is an absolute stunner. The bouquet evokes a top Left Bank Bordeaux in a great vintage. Not surprisingly, the Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1996 is very high at 80%. Every bit as compelling on the palate, the 1996 simply exudes class. I am not sure words alone can capture just how vivid the wine is at twenty years of age. Graphite, smoke, tobacco, licorice and a core of dark fruit unfold on the palate as the 1996 shows off its pedigree. Readers lucky enough to own it can look forward to another two decades plus of exceptional drinking. The 1996 is an uber-classic, Médoc-leaning Monte Bello. What a wine!

If you use Paypal then their 4% fees will be added to the invoice.
This wine retails at over £240 a bottle now.
