March 23, 2024 - Pnp. Fruit definitely falling away since last tasting note. 30 minute decant needed for the wine to show best. Drink over next 3-4 years.

September 9, 2023 - served 30 minutes after opening. Nice and sweet on the nose, with black cherries and really lovely sweet fruit, as well as eucalyptus. After 1½ hours the wine was still very alluring. Drinking very well tonight.

September 11, 2021 - Definitely has evolved and now showing some notes of tar and smoke, which is unusual for Kistler Pinot. Wine still has excellent fruit, smooth tannins and long tasty finish.

May 24, 2021 - pnp. Can't believe this is 17 years old. Very robust and still 10 years to go. Great fruit, but with the age secondary fruit profile has developed and drinking great right now. Given how well it held up, definitely decant for at least an hour on next bottle.

June 22, 2019 - Nice medium ruby. No amber. Elegant old world style . Really round and delicious. Been stored since release but probably need to drink up.
