Tasted alongside the 2006 Olive Hill. Both still fresh and delicious, the Silver showed as well or better than the Olive. Previous "drink now" comments are nonsense.

- Violet color and aromas of violet. It's lacking fruit and has flavours of strawberry jam and raisin with a medium body. Flabby texture with a short finish - Opened very flat but after 30 minutes developed more character. A little dusty despite deep violet body with garnet just at the fringe. Overall, I was disappointed with how it aged versus trying it upon release at the winery. The fruit was barely there and what was there was jammy.

Black currant evident but no real finish. Very pedestrian

Smooth tanins and nice cherry with currant notes. It is at its peak, drink now.
