  Nice and juicy! Much improved from my last bottle consumed years ago -- not as rustic.

  Black fruit notes from the blend grapes are present, tannins tame and the best glass was the last of the eve as the wine opened up to show more black cherry notes. Rossi is always a unique expression and I like the variation from vintage to vintage. This was a nice bottle, ready now.

  Somewhat agree with other TNs. I'm a huge Carlisle fan, but this wine seems to have not aged well. Decanted one hour. Aromas of nearly overripe plums with some "brambleberry" is the first impression. Full-bodied, black cherries with some leather and earth - but again that near over-ripeness pervades the finish. Not necessarily hot (15.8% ABV), but my wife noticed the alcohol in her throat. Drink up soonest!

  I think it was past it's peak, not one of the better Carlisle zins I've had
