Sweet and toasty. Bigger 14.4% wine. Beginning to show age. Opens up with more fruit after a few minutes.

Toasty, smoky, dried plums and figs. Interesting spice character too.

Wow! Just wow! This is how my husband and I started 2015! A pronounced nose of red fruits (red currants, cherries, pomegranate) cherry liqueur, spices ( tarragon, oregano, clove) cherry cola, powdered cocoa and dried crushed leaves. A palate that matches the nose in complexity but more mushroom, earth, tarragon and Cherries taking center stage. Dense and silky at the same time with layers of complexity and concentration with one of the longest finishes I have had from a new world pinot noir. I absolutely love Littorai! 13 years old and going strong!

Posting again because @Todd Parsons told me I have been too dormant. Wonderfully youthful. Raspberry. Mint. Hints of stemmy smoke.

Showing some age visually in clarity and color (more brick coming through) but still bringing acidity to the mix keeping a vibrant tone. Smoke and some secondary aromas playing out nicely

I found his very similar to the haven vineyard, but without the same complexity and expressiveness, if I had to say something different about them!
