Plenty of toasty oak and extract here. This has immensely concentrated fruits with powerful yet silky tannins. Blackberry and dark-plum aromas dominate the nose with hints of dark chocolate and candied orange. Flavors follow suit amid fluid. muscular tannins that hold long into the finish. Great wine. Try from 2023.

The 2015 Valandraud is medium to deep garnet-purple in color with a profound nose of baked cherries. warm black plums. blueberry preserves and smoked meats with tilled earth. mocha. Indian spices and dried herbs nuances plus a touch of licorice. The mouth is big. full-bodied and powerful with notable. velvety tannins and it is packed with savory and spice flavor layers. finishing with epic length. This big-boned. voluptuous. Rubenesque beauty will blow hedonists' minds!
