Château Valandraud 2020

Description

Opaque purple-black colored, the 2020 Valandraud bursts with scents of crushed black plums, boysenberries and blackberry preserves, followed by hints of dusty soil, garrigue and clove oil. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers a lot of energetic, crunchy black fruits with a lively backbone and beautifully ripe, rounded tannins, finishing long and fragrant. Drink date: 2027-2050. Score – 95-97. (Lisa Perrotti-Brown, MW, robertparker.com)
