2017 Carlisle Zinfandel Piner Olivet Ranches Russian River Valley
11/27/2021 - mvick wrote: 92 Points
PNP at cellar temp. Although the nose is slightly muted and this is less spicy than some of Carlisle's Zins, It evolved very nicely over the following two and a half hours. It is drinking very nicely but likely to hold well for at least a couple more years. The mixture of fruit and light acidity makes for a nice accompaniment to rich foods (leftover turkey, dressing and gravy) but would be enjoyable on its own. The finish lingers as is so common for Carlisle.

1977 Sandeman Porto Vintage

Many years ago, I purchased a case of half bottles of this port and finished the last bottle about ten year ago I was worried that I had waited too long for my one full bottle. Instead I am delighted to find a lingering finish - over a minute, with not only the cherry and raspberry notes but also tobacco and graphite, with notes of Brazil nuts and just a hint of vanilla. Delightful.

Unfiltered, pale yellow. Fascinating wine. Herbal nose with thyme and some delightful funk predominating. This wine evolved significantly over the hour and a half we drank it. By the end, there was a cider like quality. Just enough acidity to go with the sea bass and the various Spanish flavors of our meal.
