This wine actually could use a couple more years of rest! The “whole cluster” maceration really jacked up the tannins, which will soften after a couple more years in the bottle. The nose was a lovely brûléed cherries and herbs. On the palate the fruit jumps out immediately then is quickly high-jacked by the aggressive tannins. Very grippy finish. I enjoyed this wine but I wish I had waited a bit.

Heavy brie nose. Must have been corked. I've had bad luck with Laetitia. Close to half of the bottles I've opened have been inconsistent with what I experienced in their tasting room. Bottles were properly stored in my cellar. Anyone else having bad luck with Laetitia?

Undervalued by at least $25. Good out of the bottle. Opens quickly with more complexity than expected. Not just fruit. Reminds me of a good burgandy. Perhaps sandlewood. For the price, daily drinker for sure.
