Not what I expected at first, to be frank. There was a shortage of charisma in its nose, mouth, finish. Even in its color. But, after a couple hours of shaking, air, it slowly came around. Nice earthy notes, herbs, wild fruit. The finish had its tannic sparks, but nothing excessive. Even still, it wasn’t what I expected from a Silver Oak, but I’m still sipping it. One aspect to this to this bottle, after hours of being open mind you, that engages me, is the noses now-floral overtones and how they propel the fruit in this sexy spiraling pattern on palate. Interesting experience with this bottle. Thanks to the gifters! Wonder what else they’ll throw my/1Stop’s way…
