A little bricking and dark ruby color. Some BO, light soy sauce, hint of cherry on the nose. Typical aged cab flavors, some blackberry and plum on the palate with 35-40 sec finish. At the auction price this was quite nice given the age, while QPR at full retail would not have been so great. I think it may be a tad past prime for my tastes as I actually like the fresher fruitier flavors of younger Oracle.

I have to agree with previous posts, a little light and thin for this price point.

A very solid Bordeaux blend. Aging a little weak.

It’s…fine. Still high acid, fading primary fruit but no tertiary characteristics. Maybe just in an in between place.

Drinking excellent with a bit more time left in the bottle.
