Might have entered the wrong vintage but drank the 2007 version. Love the Carlisle wines but this left me a bit underwhelmed. Maybe should have sat on it for another 5 years but the complexity and nuances of the fruit weren't there and the finish was unremarkable.

Decanting is a must. Exceedingly tight upon opening, pored into a decanter then consumed for the following 2 hours. Opens up very reticently with copious black fruits and nice spice elements. As much as I like to drink Carlisle PS on the early side, this is a bit too young. Sorry to say it was my only bottle.

My only bottle of this delicious PS drank with babyback ribs. Concentrated fruit, integrated tannin, licorice. Drink or hold.

Amazingly young and vibrant. Deep purple. Explodes with purple and dark red fruit. Very full bodied, complex, and bold. Big finish.

PnP as third petite sirah of the evening. Still huge and tart-jammy. No hurry to drink this one.

Carlisle Tasting (Shari's, Mpls, MN): Tasting pour. Youthful, big, dry tannins, dark fruit, lots of vanilla here, some alcohol as well.
