Very nice! A little young, but it’s fun to drink top vintages at different durations

The 2005 Haut Brion is an incredible wine. Let us know how it is tasting now. Is it expressing itself, in a dumb phase, decent but tough to break through. La Mission is no slouch either! Ridge Monte Bello is very elegant. Admittedly I drink very little wine other than Bordeaux, but from California RMB is one of the best IMO. An incredible roster. Let us know how they tasted. Best,

Haute Brion is often one of my favorites! I had a very nice Montebello Cabernet from Ridge last year with a friend. Fantastic wine.
I was trying to match your set.

I got a little cold in the cellar I was in shorts and a teeshirt and gave up looking for the ridge which I know I have. I really love the Haut Brion or as it was originally O’Brian. A couple I grabbed before i got cold. Enjoy ...

I would wait five years to savour the development ,but the RMB is probably the most approachable and interesting now. Can't go wrong with any now,,and the la mission will not disappoint if that's your nclination. my two bits
Excellent choice ;))
