It is very much alive, great acidity, very civilized tannins, medium intensity finish, so lovely!

Blue fruit attack. Savory mid palate gives way to bursting cinnamon after two hours. Subtle tannin draws out length quite impressively.

Crisp cranberry emerges after a few hours. Light acidity surrounds eucalyptus appeal. Oak tannins balanced and refined. Subtleties develop luscious progression.

Incredible. Best silver oak I've had. Tastes no more than 5 years old

Found cellar notes. Bought for $25 in 1990 in NY for New Years Eve dinner. Still memorable.

A lot of oak with berry berries and very dark color. A joy to drink.

Amazingly this is still a fantastic wine. This came from a friend's cellar, original owner. Still lots of fruit, well balanced with a wonderful silky finish. Excellent. Likely a little past prime but still drinking wonderfully.
