Give it at least 30 mins in the decanter and you'll smell a wonderful bouquet of red fruits and complex savory spices and earth. In the mouth, lively acidity, fine tannins, a voluptuous roundness without unctuous viscosity: a characteristic that I sometimes get with high quality Pinot. As with all things Littorai, Burgundy sensibility with lovely restrained New World fruit. I've got one more bottle, gotta hang on to it for 5 more years if I can. This is fantastic stuff.

February 7, 2023 - A fabulous wine by Littorai. This wine has multiple layers leading with the cherry and blackberry fruits, moving into raspberry and spices and finishing with earthy minerals joining in on the back end. Excellent balance at about 13% ABV.

June 18, 2021 - Very expressive on the nose with cherries, herbs, and a floral character. Opens with cherries and blackberries, with a wet stone, floral, and forest herb finish. Lots of complexity here, and good balance between acid, alcohol, and oak. Very young and the primary fruit up front is still dominant. I suspect that patience will be rewarded for those that choose to wait 5+ years.
