  Still drinking well. Don’t procrastinate, drink now while it still has some fruit.

  1 hour decant. Very juicy but not overly fruity for a Carlisle. More mineral and slight earth in our opinion. Very full flavor with full integration no Syrah funk or tannin. Drank along g a 2005 Agartha and the differences were clear and impressive in regards to each other. Drink now, hold till next year if you must but I don't think it's getting any better with time

  Much better than my tasting two years ago. I'm now thinking that bottle was not in ideal condition given how good this bottle was at 16 years old. Deep ruby color in the bowl. Blackberries and black raspberries in the nose with licorice and hints of minerality and spice. Lots of rich black fruit in the flavor. Very well balanced, full bodied and complex with a smooth medium to long finish, the 2007 James Berry Syrah is drinking wonderfully right now.

  A little strange and unidimensional. A little nail polish in the finish so I'm going to chalk this up to VA although the nose was quite good and color was quite normal / violet/maroon. Just didn't seem to get out of first gear. Bummer.

  Dark red in color. The nose is still a bit tight but there is black cherry there. On the palate there is anise, black cherry, blackberry. Deeply flavored fruit that brightens with air. Firm tannins, probably need another 2 years to soften. Fine acidity, great balance. Finishes long with red fruits. Very nice right now, but needs another 2 years to peak.
