1988 Ridge Monte Bello, 750ml Champagne having released his inaugural vintage"Tasted from magnum. The colour, not surprisingly, is now showing some age but remains healthy. The nose exhibits perky mint and blackcurrant aromas, and no secondary tones. The attack is still fresh and lively, supple and polished, concentrated but not to excess, and ample acidity ensures it has finesse and persistence. Harmonious and balanced, this delivers a beguiling and charming finish." Decanter, 95 points
