Saturday, March 22, 2008 - Decanted 1 hour prior to drinking; Drank from a Schott Zwiesel Pinot Noir Glass

Sight: Medium red ruby color, Mostly clear wine (note: Littorai bottles unfined and unfiltered); Medium viscosity
Smell: Nice fruity nose; RRV fruit notes; Intense cherry; Earthy and dusty notes (slightly Burgundian in nature); Faint hint of leather; Some minor wood notes; Red fruit really coming on strong and dominating a sexy and luscious nose; Sour cherry notes came on later; Floral notes made an appearance later as well.... Roses?; Also some great black cherry vapors as well
Taste: Was thrown off - expected a heavier wine.... but that's OK! Medium light body wine; Vanillins, Minerals; Some heat that dissipated quickly; Fruit showed through nicely; Continued softening in the glass
Overall: Really like this wine and find it highly enjoyable. A Fine Wine! Score: 90+ points.
