Carlisle Zins are never shy. They do bring a welcome bright vibrant character which balances the powerful blackberry character. There's a spicy lift to the aromatics which adds a layer to this. Excellent with BBQ. — 9 years ago

A little shy compared to other young roulots that I have tried — 10 years ago

As good as this is now I think it still needs a few more years for the oak to mellow. Not a shy wine, very modern and flashy. — 10 years ago

Sonoma coast Pinot. Not a shy wine, full bodied and very smooth. Tuck Beckstoffer offering. — 10 years ago

Very shy at first while showing its earthy side. However, this was the only of the three wines for dinner that elevated itself with cuisine. Took about two hours for voluptuous fruit to come out. Definitely the elegant side of Brunello — 11 years ago

Where the Savoy was open and singing, the shelf is still the shy little grape (juice). Needs coaxing, but the stuffing is there. Really good juice. — 8 years ago

Having failed miserably at our 2015 new years resolution to drink up our aging cellar faster, we're glad we still have some of these around. Shy at first but then becoming fuller in the glass, this was an excellent hamburger wine tonight. With Alex in Oakland 12-17-2015.. — 10 years ago

Shy at first, this took off like a rocket. Soaring aromatics, beautiful palate. — 10 years ago

Amazingly bright and alive for 40+ yrs old (1970 vintage). Not shy on volatile acidity. — 10 years ago

Dried fruit. Raisins and plums dancing in oak. Med body and alcohol. High acid and lingering finish. Nothing shy of amazeballs. — 12 years ago

Still drinking like a baby. Very shy in the nose initially until we decanted a bit and opened up. Lovely bouquet of black fruits, chocolate, tobacco, leather and earth. Amazing wine but will be even better in 5-10 yrs — 9 years ago

Luscious and fruity, but still well shy of its true potential. — 10 years ago

9.2

A bit wound up on nose, still smoky with fresh blackcurrant and elderberry, pine bough, tangy orange and tobacco leaf. Very woodsy, but also quite shy...palate is hugely mineral and mouthcoating, touch of spice, monumental and fresh, long length. No doubt quite excellent, but not showing its arsenal today...wait 5 years at least if you have such patience! — 11 years ago
