Awesome. Beautifully balanced, great acidity, very nice finish, still tasted young and fresh. What a nice way to end my 6 bottles, Wish I had saved them for now.

Very closed when first opened. Reduced and slightly funcafied. However after about 30 mins in the decanter this wine really opened up. Bright fruit with nice soft tannin and lingering acidity. This wine is really what Kistler is all about! Really quite nice.

Popped and poured with appetizers at Marche. Huge, fragrant nose of black cherries and flowers. Still delivering big time on the palate, with kirsch and toast complementing the black fruit core. Explosive and mouthcoating- terrif depth. Last bottle for me but this has plenty of life left.

Very dark purple color. Initial nose of dark fruit with underlying anise. Initial palate of deep dark fruit with some tobacco. Big mouthcoating mouthfeel. Very good balance. Over a few hours, remained pretty consistant, although started to perhaps show some menthol and coffee flavors and aromas near the end. Drinking great now, could last. Don't know how this would evolve.
