  Definitely benefitted from the patience; this was my last '11 Littorai pinot. Primary notes of plum and strawberry on the nose with secondary floral notes. Mid mouth feel syrupy (in a good way) which transitions into light tannins that leave a nice coating on your tongue. I'd suggest drinking this now...it's at its peak and I don't see it getting any better, although I do believe it has a couple of more years in it.

  One needs to like the new world style of Pinot to really enjoy this wine, albeit in all fairness Littorai is a lot more restraint than the usual overdone Pinots. Still though on the rich and ripe side with a lot of palate presence and lacked a subtle, complex side for now at least, but as we said not our style ( Barring Ceritas and Domain de la Cote) of wine. 90

  Beautiful bouquet, fully developed... rose petals, strawberries, cherries... also some forest floor, wet leaves, an earthy component... some tobacco notes. Very european; elegant and refined.
  Great mouthfeel; nice round tannins, again ripe red fruit, racy acidity, focused and balanced. Drinking nicely at 9 yrs old; but drink now. Too good to pass up. Kudos to Ted L.

  Layers of ripe red cherries, forest floor, and spice notes on the nose which evolve wonderfully on the refreshing palate and long finish.

  Vivid garnet in the glass. Beautifully balanced with notes of pomegranate, cranberry and neat tannins, complemented with a kernel of acidity. An elegant wine.
