Opened and poured. Very dark, purples and deep reds. On the nose, very muted...not a lot going on, and this carries over to the palate as well. Very neutral, with no lively acidity or fruit to make this interesting. Tastes like a mediocre appellation blend of inferior fruit trying to masquerade as something else. Some fruit pastes, past their expiration dates. On day two, a little sweetness came out to make this a little more interesting. Overall ok, but definitely not my favorite Carlisle. On day two + under vac-u-vin this has turned to olive juice.

Much better than the last. Fresh black fruits and black olives. No pepper. Long finish.

Definitely showing it’s age. Missing vibrant fruit and mostly notes of prunes and a bit of pepper. Still enjoyable with dinner

On retaste today, the bottle was corked and awful.

At first taste, buried in green pepper taste. Nose almost dirty. Short finish, and not much acid there. Nowhere near as good as when I bought it.
