1980 Silver Oak Alexander - TheEngineer - 11-04-2012
We had a wine dinner in prep for an up coming auction. The auction house and the company at dinner were outstanding. The restaurant (Toque) was also outstanding, the food done incredibly well. I'm posting on the wines that were at the tasting and some that people brought to the event to share. Regardless of whether I thought the wine was good or not, I appreciated the opportunity to taste them and learn from them
1980 Silver Oak Alexander: lifted nose, floral, on palate, nicely
proportioned, balanced wine, still rather primary with pretty fruits,
good structure and refreshing. Sexy. let it sing.
