PnP…
Opaque ruby with a purple shine.
Deeply fruity, fresh, balanced, lifted, lovely acidity and a long finish. Nothing overly-done, and quite immensely satisfying.
92 pts.
Good bottle of wine Barry, the Carlisle Syrah’s certainly have no danger of falling off a clif anytime soon! I had this last year and recall it still could go for as long as one would want to keep it around.
May need to test that, think I still have a single 2004 Papa’s. Thanks for the note.
As much as I love Syrah I am shocked I don’t have a note on the Papa’s Block. Will have to seek out a few bottles. The Cellar Tracker average on these wines is all 92 plus which for the price point is amazing.

That has to be worth a mint. 
First vintage of Papas was 2005

THAT sums up just about EVERY bottle of Carlisle (dozens!) I’ve ever opened.
