Courtesy of J&A. Medium yellow color. There's a bit of oxidation here- not a surprise, after five to seven years or so these Kistlers have as many misses as hits- but there's a bit of citrus lurking underneath. Oxidation shows up on the palate as well, but when sipped with our meal, the oxidative qualities fade and what fruit remains comes forward. Good with our meal, worthy of the dump bucket on its own, score reflects how it showed with dinner.

I have tasted through all of my '03 single vineyard Kistlers: They are DELICIOUS! What a testament to Kistler that these wines show so well 12-13 years later -- better than a lot of Grand Cru Burgundies. ThisCuvee Cathleen had that extra little delicate nuance that this bottling seems to have. Sorry I only have one more bottle...

Exclusive dinner with eight friends and 22 special wines.: Minerals and nutty flavors, caramel, full bodied, good acidity. Oxidized, but in a beautiful and special way. Great length.
