The 2000 is not especially subtle or nuanced

Good stuff though patience is once again suggested

Littorai, Wendling Vineyard Block E Pinot Noir Size:6x750ml The 2000 is not especiallyThe 2021 Pinot Noir Wendling Vineyard Block E, from vines planted in 2010, has opened and become more expressive since I tasted it in early 2023. It unfolds aromas of blueberry and blackberry with nuances of charcuterie, aniseed, Angostura bitters and forest floor. The medium bodied palate offers supple, detailed fruit, powdery tannins, vibrant acidity and a very long, ultra spicy finish. 598 cases produced.
