  Let this one breathe for about an hour and it’s drinking exceptionally well. A great bottle for right now.

  Held up really well, nice fruit notes and chocolate on the finish.

  Outstanding after about 1-1.5 hour decant. The remaining tannins, and they are still a bit more forward than might be liked, continued to soften in the glass, and the wine did nothing but improve over the drinking period. We have two of this vintage remaining and they will continue to lie down for a few more years. Typically outstanding product from our friends at Silver Oak.

  I had a younger version of this at a work dinner a few days ago. I didn’t catch the vintage (assume 17-19) but it was drinking very nicely with intense fruit and freshness. Based on that, to open the one bottle in my cellar. This was good but not as fresh, and surprisingly seemed on the other side of the peak. Very nice to drink with blackberry fruit, dark cherries, hints of leather and tobacco. Not so intense on the nose or palate although generally well integrated. Glad I drank my one bottle now. 1 hr decant
