  Drank 1-3 hours after pulling (broken) cork. Tasty PS that reminds me why I was happy to pay $30 for this 13 years ago… understanding that I would have to wait for it. Love having something like this to enjoy as a change of pace vs a CS when grilling. No need to wait, but do give it a little air.

  Vinturied into decant,
  Still tight, angular, but in a great spot, this is exactly how I envisioned this at this stage…terrific.
  Very slight bricking,
  Drink now with air, thru 2026-9

  In a great spot right now. Tannins have calmed down, and I appreciate tasty black fruits with a medium to long finish. Complex enough to match with pan fried Daikon cake w egg & Kimchi....

  Thought it was time to try a Carlisle PS with a little bottle age but no, the time in the cellar has hardly made a dent in this one. Inky dark PS color. The tannins are still there, but coming into balance and by no means obtrusive. Medium-full bodied with blueberry fruit. Still showing some oak. Opens up nicely to a somewhat fruit forward wine. Still going strong after several days. Drink or hold, hold, hold.

  Drank over 2 days. Spice dark fruit some meat notes to the nose. Body is well rounded with solid tannins that have lost their hard edges and grip but still present to off set the acid backbone. Great finish. Softened a little on the second day; aromatics improved with time. Love this style of wine; can't wait for the newer vintages to put in their time.
