I just finished my 1994 Silver Oaks Alexander at small dinner party. Also a
1992 of same. In my opinion they had peaked and likely not getting any
better.

They were enjoyable wines. In my opionion they did evolve but I think were
excellent in their youth. The age did make them more supple...but not more
complex.
