November 9, 2020 - Super dark in color spooked me but there was just a razor's edge of freshness left that kept this "drinkable".. Not flawed per se, loads of butterscotch / bread notes.. But after a few sips each person at the table was "maxxed out" hehe..

April 22, 2012 - Finally a Kistler that aged well! Golden color with a nose of smoke, pineapple and buttery caramel. The wine still has delicious fruit, good acidity and a mouth coating velvety finish that lasts for over 1 minute. Been saving this bottle for a while and glad I popped it tonight. What is most impressive is that I am finishing up the bottle after opening it 5+ hours ago and it is still delicious. No signs of oxidation or nuttiness that I have found to be very prevalent with the 2002 and 2004s.
