August 7, 2023 - PnP. Medium dark red. Nose of black fruits, dark cherry, plum. Lovely depth of fruit on the palate with good acid and intensity on the finish. This tastes young at age 11 and I expect will develop more complexity with another 5 years of cellaring. The Littorai Anderson Valley Pinots can be very long lived. May be better tomorrow. This kept improving over several days at fridge temperature; should last and improve for another decade.

December 14, 2022 - Quite good, earthy and solidly developed. A bit weak in mid palate but after a few hours the nose bursts with dark fruits and spice. Still some tannins and acid driving tart finish.

September 8, 2022 - Popped and poured. Drank over 2 hours. Improved with about an hour of air. This bottle was enjoyable and ready to drink. Do not see a lot of improvement with more time. Drink with a short decant. Will drink the next couple of bottles in the next 2-3 years max. Good not great.
