Over ripe lemon, toasted almond, marzipan. Past it’s prime.

Well made as always and full of flavor. At this stage the oak is a bit too pronounced for me.

So pretty. White tea, long finish, lively acidity. Just wow.

Still overrated in my mind. Definitely butterscotch, tons of lemon, but kind of died on the finish for me. Maybe at an in between age.

2013 vintage. Other than the zesty, spicy oak, not much going on here. Medium/heavy body. Disappointingly shortish, uninspired finish. Least fave Kistler (white or red) I've ever had.
