April 7, 2024 - Dark red at the core, fading to the edges. Anise and cherries on the nose. Still soft on the palate, blackberry, cherry, roast meat. Fine tannins, nice acidity, good balance. Finishes long and bright with cherry liqueur notes. Still very nice but on the downhill trek. Drink up.

December 19, 2012 - Fresh sweet berry nose. Refined berries out well together. Cocoa bitters on the finish. Mature drink now

June 14, 2011 - Add chocolate to Koflaher's 2011 note, and thats my tasting note as well. Plenty of life left. Also a touch petillant, which was surprising, but didn't taste off at all.

January 14, 2011 - If anyone doesn't think these wines will hold up, my experience with this wine suggests it would last for some time yet. Although it is not the inky purple I remember, the color is still dark and consistent with almost no bricking. The nose has the berries - mostly cherry and raspberry to me - that I associate with a number of Carlisle syrahs. The wine has clearly mellowed and the fruity freshness has been replaced with a more muted taste but the fundamentals feel like they have not changed a great deal. Solid structure and full bodied with mostly dark fruits and some meaty elements. I drank it over 3 days and it was still very drinkable on the 3rd day. Have 2 more of these and will continue to let them go the distance.
