October 19, 2008 - As a long time Carlisle admirer, I come back to this wine as to an old friend for whom picking up the acquaintance requires only the slightest taste. I recall Mike saying there was something "special" about this blend from the start, and for someone who is just positively seduced by the blackberry liquor, violet, and creme de cassis flavors involved, there is no looking back. For a 15.9 % alcohol, it's as if there is none. For a wine about balance and sheer taste, just how good is this? A trip down memory lane, but some of the best travel I have ever done. Thanks Mike.
P.S. To fellow Carlisle fans out there, I opened my first bottle of this on 5/29/05. I wrote, at the time, "don't even touch this for three more years." For those of you who wonder whether patience can be a virtue with Carlisle wines, OMFG!1,774 views
