  Bright purple-red color, fading to the edges. Attractive aromas of cherries and moist earth. Bright and clear on the palate, cherries, blueberries, anise. Fine tannins, crisp acidity, nice balance. Finishes long and gradual with blueberries prominent and some cherry notes. Lovely minerality across the palate. I'd say this was at peak and would drink over the next 3 to 4 years. 83% Grenache; 15% Mourvedre; 2% Syrah.

  No notes but what a treat....Just a superb bottle of wine. A real pleasure to drink. Carlisle wines age so beautifully. Mike never disappoints.

  Of the recent notes on this, my experience mirrors Ed’s last note the most. A Premium drinking experience! It bested the 2007 Vieux Donjon Chateauneuf to the extend, that it was almost embarrasing. I do have a cold Danish cellar, but still this was so lively and fresh as to almost exceed my expectations. Both for quality and drinking experience and for how youthful it appeared. Simply just in a perfect spot!

  I do keep my cellar cold, so wines mature slowly, but the fact my ratings have gone 89, 91, 93, 94 says this is age-worthy & still prime. PnP. After one sip, immediately decanted the rest. Evolved over 2+ hours. Deep ruby. Very, very long finish. Blackberry and spice predominate, but tart cherry, raspberry and cranberry drift in and out over time.
  
  On my last 1/4 glass. Cherry cola, big spice, hint of anise. Still huge finish. Love this wine.

  Perhaps past its prime, but still delicious. Cherries, blackberries, and leather. Smooth tannins, great mouthfeel. A hint of alcohol, it is 15.5%, but not intrusive or hot, at all.
