2010 Silver Oak Alexander Valley
Note: No wine expert here.
Decanted and needed time to open up. After about 30 minutes, the dark fruit notes on the nose started coming alive. Soft mouth feel, same with the tanins.
Paired with a souve vide, BBQ seared ribeye, Brussels sprouts, and hatch Chile Mac and cheese.
Wine kept opening up with time, currently finishing after 2 hours of decanting.
Maybe kept a few years too long but still a great wine.
