Kistler is simply not great until you give it this much time and more.
Loads of; cranberries, pomegranate, strawberries, cherries, steeped fruit tea, toast, top soil, dry rock powder, saline, bright, mid florals, excellent acidity with great; balance, tension, structure and ruby polished finish for a full minute and half.

Medium body (14.1%) dark red wine. After 45 minutes to open nice nose. Full mouth of soft plum and dark cherry fruit. Hint of oak in the long finish. Interesting that after a day or two in the refrigerator much of the fruit had left.

Medium body (14.1%) medium red in color. Nice fruity nose. Complex raspberry and cherry fruit. Great finish. Delicious wine to drink after 30 minutes to open.

Light to medium (14.1%) body red wine. Slight nose with subdued (thin) fruit after 30+ minutes to open. The bottle may have been at the end of its drinking window.
