Very smooth, tannins about gone as per other notes, but fruit and other components still present. Hint of chocolate remaining. Would recommend drinking now and not waiting until 2024.

Still going strong after 12 years. Surprised how good this one was cellaring this long. Tannins have melted away leaving a core of dark fruit and some spice notes. Just barely showing some secondary characteristic. Might have to go hands off on some other Carlisle wines. Not sure I would hold it any longer but it is quite good now.

Tasty Mourvèdre Enticing aromatics. Fully resolved tannins. Not getting any acid on the finish. A bit simple. I suspect it was better in its youth.

Unfortunately my only bottle of this delicious WOW wine. Concentrated fruit and impeccable balance makes this a real winner. Drink or hold
