  What a surprise to find this Easter Egg on the list at Norda in Göteborg! Popped and poured, this was firing on all cylinders right from the first pour. Gorgeous notes of forest strawberries, Bing cherries, dried herbs, earth and Asian spices. The palate was positively ensconced with similar notes and the most beguiling texture. Tannins were medium and acid was medium+ with a long, lip smacking finish. Fabulous now but will surely drink very well for another 10 years. What a gorgeous wine.

  Simple and a bit unidimensional. Has a bit of CA style, clipped finish.

  Pleasant cranberry Bing cherry profile. Subtle touch of wood with fine tannins and nice acid on the finish.

  Excellent. Drinking very well, p-n-p. Beautiful fresh nose, singing out of the gate. Medium-bodied, but bright and light on its feet. Tart cherries, medium+ acidity but everything in balance. Long lingering finish. This is always one of my favorite Littorais, ready to drink earlier than their higher-end wines. Need to remind myself to get a 2-3 rather than just one. Not cheap for an appellation wine, but worth every penny every time. Delightful now, and has many happy years ahead.

  Really classically styled Anderson Valley Pinot. Very bright and fresh, just a hint of oak. Great acidity. Drinking really well, but tons of life left. Drink or hold.
