Maintains deep ruby color and medium body. Black cherry fruit and cassis on the nose and palate with the plush tannins and mouth feel we expect from a Silver Oak Cab. Clearly past it's prime but I still enjoyed it over 2 nights.

Tannic, lost its fruit. Pulled from a temp and humidity controlled environment & still looked like the color was off. Second of 6 bottles. 1st was corked, although opened that one 11 years ago. Time goes by quickly. Wish I would have decanted it earlier.

Today, still fully tannic upon opening, rough and closed nose. Decanted gently and in the hours passing it opened up beautifully, became smooth with little tannin. All thoroughly loved this wine. Still fully berry flavored, mint oak tartness, a quaffable food friendly wine. Maybe you don’t want to quaff this one but you know what I mean. RTP
