2021 Château Valandraud 92 Points
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru
Generous and sexy and spicy as always, but the oak seems to dominate, and the tannins are a bit green. Has it been pushed too far?

France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol
Quite spicy and quite oaky, ambitious extraction, long but dry finish. A question mark.
