2004 Carlisle Syrah Dry Creek Valley - USA, California, Sonoma County, Dry Creek Valley (1/18/2010)
Had half the bottle on night one and felt I would wait for night two to give notes. Getting fruits, tar, and some herb. A touch of heat that seems to come and go. bareley noticeable. Left this bottle open all night and then put the cork in it this morning and back into the cellar until now. I figured I have a day off, rain is falling down in buckets, it is time to check out the Carlisle. Not a significant change there is still fruit, tar, but the herb gives just a hint of tea. Maybe it is just the mood I am in, but subtle tea on the finish as well. The finish is very long and clean. An absolutely pleasant wine. BTW, we are not talking nestea, I am talking sumatra tea, baby.
