Still amazingly fresh at 14 years in. Ample acidity brings bright cherry and pomegranate to the fore, while there's plenty of woodsy, herbal aroma and a judicious amount of oak spicines. Tannins are in a great, silky place in their evolution. This has at least another half-dozen years of life left in it, easy.

Purchased about a month ago from BWG. Did not decant. First 90 minutes were exquisite. The wine was Burgundian, subtle, and smooth. It started to decline after that. I am still glad I bought it, and I did get to enjoy a Littorai with a bit of age at a fair price.

As I wrote nearly 4 months ago, this Pinot Noir is delicious and at peak !! Perfect cork after over a decade in the bottle, removed easily. Consumed at dinner with friends and really shined over the Burgundy's consumed that night. My last bottle of this vintage in my cellar.

15 years and this wine is still going strong. Drank over two nights. Great acidity with cherry/pomegranate notes. Some secondary notes as well.....
