AG nailed the notes for this wine, so I won’t duplicate. But on the nose and palate, I also detect kirsch liqueur, hints of licorice and anise. This wine has not moved since it was bottled. It presents with purity and power. Easily possesses another 20 years of runway ahead of it. Sheer ecstasy in a glass. My favorite Rhône producer. — 3 days ago

Impressive. A smokey, complex, cola nose, gives way to a bold, expansive palate. Light on its feet, yet rugged and complex. Cinnamon and cloves compliment sour cherries. Softened with air. For a sub $18 pinot, it’s tough to beat. — 18 days ago

No mistake here at all. Sit in the background enjoying a Brilliant (pardon the pun) Napa SB.
Nose and palate are dominated by crisp, tart green apples. Guava presents on the mid palate, and finishes with lychees and bright acidity. Wonderful SB example from @john&stacy brilliantmistakewines.
Wifey’s besty in the background. — 24 days ago

Textbook Kistler. Lychees and nutmeg on the nose. Quite heavy and dense on the palate. Almonds, oak and Meyer lemon are present, with soft acidity. Drinking perfectly now, although wifey detects an old box! — 16 days ago

A prior vintage I tasted was superb. This one, not so. This finishes bitter. Happy I only purchased one bottle. — 4 days ago

Plush, dense, and rich. A perfect way to start the weekend. Ripe tannins add a sexy texture to what is an opulent example. Loving this... — 18 days ago
