Rich yellow; rich nose, maize (?), some vanillin; rich, creamy, honey-like with lots of taste and sun, not that much acidity; as with other Kistler 10, I believe they are at max drinking window right now, no reason to keep - drink up at its peak right now

Medium straw color. Bright nose of white and tropical fruit, note of vanilla. Palate had that along with flinty minerality and oak supporting the rich fruit. Much fresher than a prior bottle (both from the winery and stored 3 inches from this one in a good cellar), which had some oxidation in progress. This was a superb bottle. No need to wait any longer on these. Drink now.

Kistler white 2010 - all are singing now - see also previous notes from Jan and Feb re cuvee Cathleen; Kistler vineyard at more or less same level, but if anything perhaps a slightly lighter less dense and less concentrated expression; nevertheless a really good wine in a very good spot
