Second time trying this in the span of two weeks.
Just as enjoyable this time around.
In contrast to last time, no decant, this bottle felt a little more ready to go, plus we were spacing it with dinner at Itria, so let it breathe in the bottle.
This remains a lovely wine.
Still lots of fruit, mostly dried blueberries, blackberries, plums, and cherries.
Also some dried herbs, cloves, slight leather.
This is in a beautiful window right now, can go on for a while, but why wait?
12.8% ABV, versus modern Silver Oak at 15%.
93 points.
