Elegant with looming sophistication, but too young right now to drink. Began to open up after 45 minutes of aeration. Cherry, cola, nice acid and balance and structure, but needs a few more years in bottle to begin to expose its true potential. Hold until 2027.

Now this is classic Littorai pinot! Incense and 5 spice on the nose, in the mouth it's piercing and scintillating sour cherry, cola and sassafras. Tannins still a bit chalky but finish is long. I'm guessing this will be even better in 5 years, if you can resist the urge to pop today. Carpe diem!

Super elegant wine with beautiful depth, hint of cola flavor, and bright lingering acidity
