I get that classic kistler nose of unbuttered burnt popcorn. More of the same on the palate, with lemons, pineapple, honey dew and great acidity. Better than the 03 version, me thinks.
Too young to strut its stuff. Red fruits is all i got out of this nose that was tight. Ripe dark fruits on the palate, maybe some white pepper. Not overly "ripe" or syrah like, but it did have a touch of heat at the end. Give it some time
My last bottle out of a six pack that I got from the winery on special. Overall it was a decent buy - my friends likely enjoyed it a tad more than I did. Dark fruits and a touch of the classic Heitz mint, touch of rubber, and mushroom. It's a pretty earthy wine, with good fruit, a touch of chalk, and a good amount of tannin left.
Great nose - perfume & floral, with a touch of earth/poop. Great mouthfeel, powerful dark fruits, but light on the palate, with a dry finish. Still young
Dark fruits, meaty, a touch of barnyard, but it has a certain liveliness to the nose. Velvet mouthfeel, with twizzlers, coffee, dark leaves, and spices. The nose was better than the mouth...
