  Nostalgic wine for me. Definitely needs to be drunk. I don’t see these wines holding on another 10-15 years.

  This bottle was pleasantly dramatically different from last tasting in 2019, when it showed diminution from aging, past its prime and nearing the end of its drinking window. Tonight, this exceeded expectations, showing life remaining in its drinking window with little if any diminution from aging, perhaps bottle variation of that other bottle.
  
  Dark ruby color, medium full bodied, bright full expressive tangy dark plum, cherry and black currant fruits with herbs, spics and notes of sweet oak on the acidic long finish.

  At Silver Oak Release Day, Cellar Tasting, nose of red cherry, black cherry, allspice, same on the palate, big body, very tasty, rich fruit, mouth filling fruit, almost elegant, great winery storage showed with this tasting, delicious, long finish, lovely aftertaste, reminds me of the good old days At Silver Oak!!!!

  PnP. Auction bottle from Brentwood and it showed well. Lots of high toned redcurrant aromatics with a little bit of underripe green stemmy oak and high acidity. Bears no resemblance to the Silver Oaks of the mid 2000s and beyond. This was a lovely, old school cab with ample richness. Most thought 96 or younger, and were surprised at the reveal. I think it’s in the zone and by no means past prime.
