April 5, 2024 - Wonderful texture, that is full-bodied and offers the typical Mancini acidity, as the P.H. was in the low 3’s. This flows along with ease. Raspberry, fresh plums, blood orange, teak and nectarine. This unfolds nicely and is of course fresh. Just starting to open up with no signs of fading soon. Another fine ‘18. Drink now - 2032.

March 26, 2024 - Full bodied. Well balanced with firm tannins. Nice complexity, good structure, with dark fruits, cassis, vanilla, oak and tobacco. Throwing off good sediment. Let breathe about 30 to 45 minutes.

March 17, 2024 - Needed something for a BBQ Chicken pizza, not the easiest wine pairing, so I thought this would be a good choice. Rich and upfront RR fruit but with the more elevated acidity that Mancini brings to the table. Check and check. Great paring, I do still support that this is one to drink now and over the next few years, no reason to lay this down for an extended period when it seems ready to go now.

February 3, 2024 - Oh yeah! A wonderful effusive nose on this wine! Bright red fruits and some citrus. Palate was equally enjoyable. Not shy, but also not smacking you in the face. Nice!

December 4, 2023 - This is what weekday wines should be like. Nice flavors and depth, execllent finish and not tannic. Love Carlisle's claret-like profile.
