Château Valandraud 2008 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Émilion)
- Online Exclusive
93-95 Barrel sample. Now in the mainstream of top Saint-Emilion wines, the former garage wine is packed with rich, juicy fruit. The acidity is a waft over the firm tannins. There is certainly plenty of new wood, but the opulent fruit balances well.

Ripe and juicy, this is already a delicious, fruity wine. It has a fresh fragrance, with tannins and a coffee flavor. Ample acidity gives the finish freshness. It still needs to age to reveal all its character.
