I love Carlisle, but if the mantra that they all need tons of rest holds true then that goes double for this one. Day 2 and it's just starting to open up and give a peak. Will hold another 5 years before I check in again.

It took about an hour for this to come around. Primary with little nuance yet I thought the balance was spot on.

Opened too soon as it felt a bit clunky and inbalanced at points. EtOH very noticeable. Excepted bramble fruits with gentle spice.

After a 2 hour decant this bottle exploded with complexity on the nose. Berries galore on the palate. Delicious.
