Still has big, sweet-ish mixed berry fruit, structure, might be a little over the top for some but I didn't think the flavors had any sort of offensive fake character nor did I find the alcohol overbearing. Mostly just delicious

Another beautiful old Carlisle zin. Decanted 45 minutes and then consumedd over the next 2 years. Still tons of red fruit and a beautiful bouquet on the nose.

Absolutely sublime. I'd worried that this was past its prime -- and maybe it is -- but it is still a delight, with a strawberry-rhubarb nose, a mouth coating richness and plenty of fruit left.

Last bottle even better than the first. Living proof that a Zin can benefit from age. All the fruit still there, but so complex after eight years.
