This is still very good but was likely peaking 2-3 years ago. It's still drinking nicely...just better a couple years back. On the nose, stewed, candied fruits with a shade of tartiness. Blackberries, plum, dark cherries, cherries, extracted pomegranate, cranberries, raspberries, whispers of baking spices, dry limestone earth, dark volcanic minerals and decayed dark florals. The medium body is waning. Tannins completely resolved. The fruits match the nose with a touch of pruniness but still show nicely. There's more dark spices on the palate than the nose. Light baking spices with vanilla leading the way, gritty dark minerals, rich black earth, decayed dark florals & nice round acidity that rains on the palate. The finish is soft, ripe, round and elegant with spices that give a light sting on the long finish. Photos of; one of the Kistler vineyards, the Trenton Road House, the front entrance and estate patio. If you own the 01 Sonoma, it's time to drink up.

typical kistler however less fruity than 2000 which was opened last month. Slightly more leather and earthy note on the palate. Nevertheless enjoyable and long finish.
