A full-bodied dry red with fairly strong tannins. Litaj is a top-shelf wine by Latourba and one of those bottles you pair with moments you’d like to remember. It also pairs nicely, of course, with red meat and strong cheeses.

I got notes of red fruits, black fruits, cocoa, black pepper, and tobacco, and tiny hints of mint and green capsicum here and there.

Overall, I think it is an excellent blend, and I wouldn’t mind drinking more of it.
