  Pnp. Nice red cherry and boysenberry on the nose, a little cigar box. Nice dark burgundy coloring, cherry and a little plum on the palate. Very smooth in the mouth, nicely balanced. Mid weight fruit finish. Went great with grilled pork tenderloin. Tough to pick a favorite Carlisle bottling, but Papera is consistently tasty.

  Decanted and let breath for 3 1/2 hours. This is the most delicate Papera I’ve ever had…elegant and graceful with citrus and blackberry berry and subtle blueberry. Nose is mostly blackberry. I’m timed the how long the finish lasted after a some mouth swirl…25 seconds! Wow…just a beautiful wine…careful with food pairings as I think heavy food will likely overpower it. Years of life ahead in the cellar but great now as well!

  Notes of dried blueberry, sweet cherry, and star anise, with nice acidity. Well balanced, despite high abv.

  Vanilla and berry nose
  Predominantly red fruit, crushed raspberries, strawberry preserves, and cranberries
  Nice acid, refined soft tannins
  Lingering finish

  Very youthful. Didn’t change with 3 hours of air
