  Didn't know Kistler made cab. Had a $29.99 old school price tag on the bottle's neck, which I thought was a cool reminder of things past. Has a bell pepper and spice box aromatic, with a nice, fresh fruit profile, one that seems to be aging slowly and quite well. Good weight, doesn't seem to be drying out at all. No rush on these if you have them.

  This is much, much better than any of us had expected. In a blind tasting many of us would have marked it as a Left Bank Bordeaux, and probably a Pauillac! The nose was classic Pauillac with lots of smoke and a bit of grilled meats. There was no hint of the concentrated sweet fruit that would give it away as a Californian, except of the minty nose which would have pegged it as a Cabernet Sauvignon. Given the bottle age, the tannins have now become very smooth and yummy. This could have just been an off-vintage Bordeaux classed growth.
