  Last glass of a well-cellared bottle opened a few hours prior to my glass being poured from a friend. Slightly cloudy amber brown - maderized nose of hay, nut oils, and butterscotch lending a sense if not the accurate quality of residual sugar. Viscous mouthfeel. Stiffly alcoholic close makes me think this wine is a 15 plusser etoh. Nice sruff still yet as long as you dig the aroma and flavor profiles of sherries and Madeira

  Golden in color. Classic kistler taste. Long finish. Drinking very well. Won't wait much longer

  Corked!
  Russian River Valley AVA, unlike more recent vintages of Les Noisetiers, that are Sonoma Coast AVA.

  This bottle has definitely passed its prime, and featured a Madeirized flavor profile, with a limited amount of residual fruit , but some nice persistent minerality and nuttiness.
