Always a lovely experience to drink some Littorai. This had notes of cola, baking spices, cinnamon, and cranberries. High acidity, crunchy fruits, and moderately layered. Light bodied and easily gulpable. Delicious stuff.
If I didn't see the label, I would have guessed a much newer producer instead of the OG. A surprise, for sure!

13.1% abv. Light burgundy in color, very aromatic. This wine enters with sweet red cherry and finishes dryer. Well balanced, good depth, excellent length. Very enjoyable now with the potential for improvement over the next several years.

This possessed everything I love in a great Pinot. Dark cherry, floral, spice, well balanced. Just a lovely drinking experience all around.
