Incredible fruit on the nose. Bursting with aromas of deep jammy concentrated fruit and eucalyptus. This evolved over the 1.5hrs I took to drink it. The last glass was divine with a slight coffee element coming through and a long lingering finish.

Typical reliable Silver Oak. Took a while to open up but eventually evolved into a lovely cab with a nice rounded mouthfeel. Nice smoky vanilla elements with full on cherry and plum fruit flavours. Not great value for money though at £90 a bottle (in London).

Seriously impressive ripasso style wine. Deep cherry and chocolate on the nose, plum and vanilla notes on the palate with a smooth long finish and a delightful mouthfeel.
Bought for £13. An absolute steal for a ripasso of this quality.
