In 2015 the Silver Doctor stands out for its vivid, spicy aromatics, redolent of cinnamon, cardamom, and white pepper, as well as its luxuriant, velvety mouthfeel. In 2015 these two sites ripened their fruit uncommonly early, before the remains of hurricane Joaquin slammed into the mid-Atlantic region, and as a result the wine shows a fine, silken texture, even at this early age. While there’s little question that it will continue to improve over the next three to four years in bottle, the 2015 Silver Doctor is already too delicious to resist, packed as it is with jammy strawberry and black cherry flavors and totally absent any astringency. Drink now-2021.
