Ripe, rich dark berry fruit with a hint of appleskin and a distinctive pleasant spice note. Light and airy with extremely fine, soft tannins but very good intensity. Not much secondary development yet. Impressive for the intensity given the lightness of its extract. Can be drunk now if you like it frooty but otherwise not yet mature.

Delicious red cherry, raspberries, and floral notes on the expressive nose and layered palate with refreshing acidity on the long finish. Another stellar 2006 pinot from Littorai!

Decanted an hour or so before consuming. Nice nose of red fruits, liqueur like taste on the palate made it harsh and not enjoyable. I suppose this was from the >14% alc. Long finish that was nice. Overall a disappointment though
