  • 2003 Littorai Pinot Noir Thieriot Vineyard - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast (2/28/2015)
    Pnp. Used a worm, cork broke in two, 2/3 down, but thankfully two solid pieces. Otherwise the cork was in good shape, still spongy, with no “wine creep.” Color was a light reddish brown. Initial nose was tight, but smelled of black truffles with little fruit. Initial taste was a bit reticent, with limited red fruits, cocoa, mushrooms. Drank over three and a half hours and both the nose and taste became more and more complex. Smooth, well-integrated tannins. I have two more and will enjoy these over the next two years.

Sorry, I guess I have to edit my CT notes so that my signature is added.

Just pulled a perfect cork from a bottle of the 03 Littorai Thieriot Chardonnay. Citrus & oil to get started, color is the only thing advanced about this wine.

Not gonna last 3 hours with this crowd!

Although I no longer have any, I think Littorai made fantastic 2003 pinots.
