95 / 100"”The Ridge Block is one of the top blocks each year, this parcel standing out and separately vinified, matured in French oak (60% new). Intense blackberry, spice, licorice and pepper join hands with the tannins to balance the impact of the French oak. All good, as they say.”"
- James Halliday
