  Consistent w prior note. Excellent bottle. Dense but not fat. riper oily citrus/stone fruits, hazelnut. Good length and acidity. The alcohol pokes through a touch prominently at times but otherwise this was really good. And should last a good while longer. I only wish I paired this more thoughtfully with something richer

  PnP. Medium gold. Subtle nose of citrus, touch of butterscotch, and some tropical fruits. Quite full and viscous on the palate with excellent intensity followed by just the right amount of acidity on the finish. This is excellent. Could keep for another few years but don't see much upside from here. Great balance and a wonderful wine. Didn't make it to 2020 as I suggested in last tasting note.

  Decanted. Pale gold. Absolutely on fire. Good tension & minerality. Just really really good.

  PnP. Medium greenish gold. Nose of citrus, a bit floral. Medium weight on the palate with good viscosity and sap and lovely acid kick to the finish. This has exquisite balance as is often the case with Littorai, although this vintage of Thieriot seems less exotic and ripe than some, leading to a better overall impression. Lovely wine which will age. I will drink my last bottle in 2020.

  A year since last tasted, this was another enjoyable bottle. Initially shows some oak, but this dissipates with air. Drink or hold.
