  Sorta fading. Beautiful golden color. Stunning mature nose. The taste was quite nice and mature, but a touch hollow in the midpalate. I don't see this getting any better.

  Showing signs of age, now full of roasted nuts, caramelized apple, lees. Balance remains nice, and it will appeal to lovers of older Chardonnays.

  golden evolved color; maderized nose and flavors of almonds, orange oil, and a hint of butterscotch; yet another example of how these concentrated Kistlers when supported by sufficient acidity can sing in their senescence

  Another go with this one and a different story; still visually old deeply amberred with aromas of nuts and lemon peel but this bottle offered crisp acidity keeping the old flavors sharp and focused
