Really big up front, but settles in nicely to a more elegant mid-palate and finish. The tannin in the finish is a little grainy. Blackberry, blueberries, plum, a little mint, and dollops of creme are picked up in this legendary site's 2009 Carlisle version.

Deep red in color with electric ruby edges. The nose is full, not over blown, as is the palate if maybe a touch more heat coming through there.
Screaming currants, with graphite, raspberry and blackberry. Lots of fun, tasty with the grilled ribs!
