Still a very deep purple color, even after 15 years! Rich syrah with blackberries, blueberries, currants, spice, and hints of floral. Full bodied wine with nice acidity, and very well balanced. There was no hint of the 15.9% alcohol level. Nice complexity and a medium to long finish.

Excellent typical Carlisle cocktail style syrah. If you like this style, as I do, this is about as good as it gets at this price point ($35 pre-release). This was an unfiltered bottle.

Dark red blood. Heavy sedimentation. No hurry to drink up.

Needed an hour to open up, fabulous wine, raspberry notes, great balance and lengthy finish. This was the unfiltered version.
