Estimate
...brilliant nose of spiced currants, black cherries, new saddle leather, Provençal herbs, and subtle floral nuances...rich, medium to full-bodied, and flawlessly balanced on the palate, with gorgeous tannins and a great finish.
Blackberry, chocolate and hazelnut character on the nose, following through nicely to a medium body with integrated tannins and a fresh finish... Hints of mushrooms and earth.
...intense nose with blackberry, graphite and orange peel scents that unfold with each swirl...oak is nicely integrated...medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, a little chewy in style, broad-shouldered and dense...
Ripe and fragrant, smells so appealing. Rich and concentrated on the palate with a stony minerality that comes through straight away. Fine tannins are abundant but gently frame the wine that is clearly powerful but well presented... Lovely wet stone minerality at the end with appealing graphite edges. Freshness with more savoury, spicy, minerals aspects... Lots to like.
...aromas of sweet berry fruit, pencil shavings and vanilla pod, followed by a medium to full-bodied, velvety and seamless palate that's succulent, fleshy and gourmand.
Lush in feel, showing warmed plum and blackberry compote flavors laced with alder, plus a light savory hint.
Sweet, oaky and creamy. Round and seductive in the old come-hither, plummy St-Émilion style.
This is a second label of Château Valandraud
