Great nose, full of cherry and cola. Palate a bit tired with a limited finish but still good definition with notes of berry and balsamic. Not over the hill but probably time to drink up

Apparently I liked this wine when I last poured it in 2018, but more than four years on it's a disappointment. Promising on the nose, with a variety of savory hints. But if there was once fruit, it's now mostly gone. Overall impression is sort of pallid and wan.
(Later in the same day I cracked a second bottle that had been stored equally well but in a different cellar - slightly different, more complex nose, but equally unapproachable overall.)

Last bottle which was different from the more complete and balanced one we drank in September. Nice but the fruit has faded so I’d recommend drinking these up if you got ‘em.

PnP. This is one of the “early drinking” entry level wines for Littorai, but I go to say this was drinking very well at 7 years old with good complexity, full bouquet and everything in balance. This has plenty of fruit and many years left.
